About: Mish is a sweet, shy girl who just needs a little extra time to feel safe and comfortable in the world. New environments and unfamiliar people can be a bit overwhelming for her, but with patience, understanding, and the right companions, her sweet personality begins to shine! Mish seems to come out of her shell around other social dogs, so having a confident, friendly canine companion may help her feel more at ease.
Mish has reportedly done well living with cats when given slow, thoughtful introductions, and she has experience living with children as young as six. Any children in her future home will need to understand and respect her body language, recognizing when she needs space and allowing her to feel comfortable without pressure.
Mish is searching for a quieter, laid-back home where life moves at a slower pace and visitors are few and far between. She'll need a family who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her blossom at her own speed. She may not be the dog who greets every stranger with a wagging tail, but for someone willing to be patient and let her come around on her own terms, Mish has the potential to be a very special companion.
If you have a calm home, a gentle heart, and plenty of patience to share, Mish might just be the shy little sweetheart you've been waiting for. All she needs is someone willing to give her the time and space to discover that she's home.
