Misha 8 years young. She weighs 6.6#, Measures approximately 15" long, 10" high (excluding head). She is on the small side. She is AKC registered.
She has never been around kids or cats of any age, and only around other dogs for maybe 10 - 30 minutes and then very infrequently. She tends to ignore other dogs when they meet.
She is somewhat shy and has never been around other people very much. Her Mom is a senior citizen and they have lived a rather reclusive life for the last 8 years. Her Mom has had emphysema for the last 14 years and now lung cancer, so she has been paper trained (wee wee pads) as she could not walk her. She has a sweet disposition, and of course is rather spoiled. She does not particularly like to be held, but she sleeps with her mom and likes to be right next to her.
She will only eat chicken - dog food very rarely. She has always had her hair cut short. Right now she has an ear infection which she is being treated for 2 antibiotics; otherwise seems to be in very good health.
I think she would do best with an older person who is home a good bit of the day. She will have enough to go through with the change of homes so we would like to keep her homelife simple and quiet.
If you think you might have the home for Misha please fill out an application to adopt.
As with all rescues we need loving, patient homes. Misha will need a lot of consideration and love in this transition as she is coming from a perfect home.
