Owner Info: Misty's owners found this little girl near their home in July.  She was extremely matted and very skinny.  She had a collar on, but only "Misty" was on the tag.  She is not micro chipped.  They have been unable to find her owners.  Misty is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken but not leash trained.   She is very sweet and loving! Her owner writes, " At the time, we decided to make Misty part of our family, which we have, we love her very much.  With a heavy heart I am writing because we are unable to continue keeping her in our home.  She has started to become aggressive to our yorkie that we had before Misty.  Our 1st yorkie is smaller than Misty, not sure if this has anything to do with it. Misty gets along fine with our lab.  She is also fine with our 2 year old son.  Here is some updated information on Misty since we have had her...The vet guesses she is 6-7 years old.  She is negative for diabetes, her blindness is caused by cataracts, but the vet says it is genetic since she is young and doesn't have diabetes.  She is also negative for heartworms (she has been on prevention meds since she has been with us).  Her skin was itchy and her hair was falling out when we got her, so the vet tested form mange, but that was negative as well.  We treated the itchy skin and she is better now, her hair growing normally.  She is up to date on her shots now and has been microchipped.  Her blindness doesn't hinder her much, she has learned to navigate our home and gets around really well.  She is housebroken but does have accidents if you aren't frequent about putting her outside."
