If you need to add some flavor to your life, we've got a quick and easy way to do that- meet Miso! Miso is a handsome young guy who first popped up at PACC all the way back in 2021. We don’t know all of the details of his journey between then and now, but he returned to the shelter as a stray in late 2024. Miso found himself at risk due to critical shelter overcrowding and was lucky enough to spend a couple of months in a foster home. His foster shared that he is housebroken, easily learned to use a doggy door, slept the day away when left home alone, and is extremely cuddly, affectionate, calm, well-mannered, and friendly with new people.
Miso CLEARLY identifies as a 5lb teacup poodle. He wants nothing more than to crawl into your lap to be close to you. This doesn’t work out so well due to his size, but he works with the hand he was dealt and is content to get his paws and head in your lap. He is redirectable if you don’t want his front half in your lap. He is a champion car passenger. He will stay in the backseat if that’s where you put him, but if you let him ride in the passenger seat, he will just lay there with his head in your lap. Miso’s foster said that he was one of the best dogs they’ve ever had in their home, and we’re hoping that when Miso leaves the shelter next, it will be forever this time! This big old lovebug also has lots of fans at the shelter, who say he is the biggest cuddle bug who would rather sit on your lap in a yard than to walk. His beautiful coat is fluffy and that makes petting fun. Miso is friendly and easy to leash. Miso is a big, energetic boy so would love a family who will take him on all of their adventures.
