Meet Miso!

 

Miso entered Downey Shelter as a stray, and we rescued him in April 2022. He is now 11 years old and weighs 47 lbs. Miso is a very friendly and sweet boy whose special talents include being an expert cuddler, catching treats, and fitting onto laps. Our staff and volunteers love Miso to pieces, and we celebrated his Frostiversary (anniversary of becoming a Frosted Face) with a big birthday party. Our greatest wish is for Miso is to spend the rest of his birthdays in his forever home where he is loved and cherished.

 

Miso has been staying busy while he waits for his forever family! He enjoys going on our weekly FFF hikes and earns rave reviews for having great leash manners, maintaining a nice steady pace, and being an all-around super hiking partner. Miso has been on outings with volunteers to local parks, restaurants, and wineries, as well as two Frosted Field Trips, spending several days in Julian and in Big Bear with volunteers. He is a loving and lovable sidekick everywhere he goes!

What might Miso be like in your home if you adopted him? We have a pretty good idea, because he went on a two-week Frosted Fling and received a glowing review for being a well-behaved, devoted companion. Miso's Fling Mom shares: "Miso's Fling went great! He settled right in and was super calm for his bath and nail trim. He became my little shadow right away following my every step. He loves really long walks and is a little detective sniffing all the pee mail left by other dogs lol. Sure, Miso is hard of hearing, but he kept a eye on me during our walks checking in to make sure we stayed together. He also knows hand signs for sit and lay down. His leash manners are excellent and he brought smiles to anyone who walked by. At night he really liked cuddles and sleeps soundly through the night so you don't have to worry about losing sleep. We went on a paddle boarding adventure and he was a pro! He stepped right on the board and chilled like he had done it before. Miso really loved being on the water and looking at everything around us. I really enjoyed my time with Miso and hope he will find a family soon because he is SUCH a good boy!"


Miso does not like when dogs get in his face (otherwise he hardly even notices they are there) so he is part of our Molly & Me Project and currently lives in a paid foster home where there are no other animals.

There are senior dogs left behind by their owners that are poorly socialized with other animals, but they are incredibly loyal companions to humans and likely have been for many years. M&MP dogs are difficult to place and often find themselves in long term isolated kennel boarding or facing euthanasia. The Molly & Me Project was implemented to recruit people that have no other animals who can carry out our mission of family to love dogs like Molly who need to be an only pet long term.
