Meet Misty! This incredible girl is as loyal as they come. Smart, affectionate, and endlessly devoted to her people, Misty forms deep bonds with those she trusts and loves nothing more than spending time by their side. Whether she's curled up for cuddles after an adventure or eagerly waiting for her next training session, Misty gives her whole heart to her people. She absolutely loves swimming and is a natural in the water - even happily launching herself off docks! Running is another one of her greatest joys, and she would make an incredible companion for someone who enjoys running, biking, canicross, or other active outdoor adventures. She's also incredibly food motivated, making training both fun and rewarding, and thrives when given a job to do and opportunities to use her brilliant mind.
Misty is one of those dogs you'll never forget. She's hilariously clever, lightning fast, and somehow always seems one step ahead. She has the classic husky vocals, incredible athleticism, and an exceptional work ethic paired with a remarkably sensitive nature. She has the uncanny ability to squeeze through spaces you wouldn't think possible or clear a baby gate with ease. She loves to summersault into your arms, has never met a stuffy she didn't immediately want to shred, and is always finding new ways to make her people laugh. Her foster jokes that Misty thinks she's smarter than everyone else - and honestly, she might be right! She has an incredible memory and isn't above patiently plotting for days if she knows there are snacks hidden in the cupboard. Despite all of her brilliance and energy, she also has a wonderfully soft side, happily snoring away while napping on top of her favourite people. To know Misty is truly to love her.
Misty has recently completed an intensive eight-week board and train program with Paws in Focus, where she made incredible progress and built a strong foundation of skills and confidence. She has learned valuable impulse control, handling skills, and how to navigate the world with trust and confidence. Misty is an exceptionally intelligent, driven dog who loves to learn and genuinely enjoys working alongside her person. She has rediscovered that people can be trusted and has blossomed into a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates the unique qualities of a working-breed dog. She is looking for a home that enjoys training, enrichment, and spending time together as a team.
Misty is searching for an experienced home that understands the importance of structure, consistency, and continuing the training she's worked so hard to achieve. She would do best in a quieter, non-city environment where she has plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures and appropriate outlets for her energy. Because of her prey drive, she is not suited to a home with small animals. She would also do best in a home without young children and would ideally be the only dog, unless joining a home with someone who is extremely experienced in managing multiple high-drive dogs. Her adopters should be committed to continuing the balanced training approach that has helped her thrive and be willing to learn about canine body language and communication.
Misty is truly a one-of-a-kind dog. She is faster, smarter, and more determined than most people will ever meet, and she's looking for someone who sees those traits as the incredible gifts they are. For the right person, Misty will be an unwavering partner, a loyal adventure companion, and a dog who will give you everything she has. If you're looking for an extraordinary dog to build an extraordinary bond with, Misty just might be your perfect match.
