Tess (Misty 10-219) [1]

I am Misty's temporary foster for a few days. I picked up Misty from a couple who lived on a farm in rural Rochester. They said this dog has been hanging around their property on and off about a week. They state she loved their grandchildren (around ages 8-10). I can vouch for that, she follows my 10 yr old daughter around and sleeps with her in her bed. She jumped right into my back seat and rode home with no problem. She loves humans. Came into my house and made herself at home. She ate the first night and followed me around, not shy at all. She is young, 1-3 year old, intact female, not vet checked yet. I gave her a bath and removed many mats from her fur. She is certainly part collie it appears by her ears and all that beautiful hair. She tolerated the bath fine, and did not mind being brushed out. I applied flea protection and she looks great. She is not house trained but she is so smart and easy to train for a youngster. She walks on a leash and is comfortable with taking walks. She has a good amount of energy, but after she goes for a walk she calms right down as you can see by the picture.  She was very comfortable meeting my resident dog and other foster Lacy 10-200 as well as my cat. At this time she resource guards her food and water only with the other animals. I can take her food away with no problem. She has some sensitivity with her dewclaws right now and chews on her nails. She would be a great addition for an active family.
