Misty needs a new home! Please help her find a lovely new place to live. ♥️
Misty is a sweet 3-year-old female mixed-breed dog. Her lineage includes Catahoula Leopard Dog, Labrador Retriever, and Rottweiler, among other breeds. Misty is a lively, affectionate, and good-natured dog who loves to cuddle, give kisses, and rest her head on your chest.
While she is very friendly, she can sometimes be overly enthusiastic, but responds well to a firm voice to help her calm down. Misty adores children and gets along well with other dogs at doggie daycare. However, she needs to be the only animal in the house due to being more territorial and food aggressive at home. Does not like cats. Currently have another dog in the house. Occasional fights over food. I live with my daughter & she is afraid of the fights. I live in an in-law apartment in her home.
She is a wonderful pup, but she has grown too large for me to care for her properly. Misty would thrive in a home with a spacious backyard and plenty of room to roam. Misty is also crate trained. Is up-to-date.
