Story
IM SPONSORED! Special thank you to my anonymous donor for sponsoring my adoption! Meet Miss Frosty, an adult Husky who is full of love. She is as sweet as sugar, playful as a butterfly, and energetic like a summer breeze. Her gentle nature is soothing, but she can be a little shy at first. Give her a moment, and she will quickly become your best friend. Miss Frosty prefers a calm and serene environment, so she would do best in a home without small children. Despite her initial shyness, she is eager to show her love and loyalty. She is looking for a family that will embrace her playful spirit, cherish her gentle soul, and provide her with the affection she deserves. Adopting Miss Frosty is not just about giving a dog a home; it's about welcoming a bundle of joy into your life. She is ready to bring happiness, laughter, and unconditional love to her forever home. Dogs are generally tested with dogs of their size in a group setting, and dog meet-and-greets with the adopter's dog(s) are always encouraged. A cat test may be conducted at the adopter's request but should only be used as a general-purpose screening to rule out overt aggression. We always recommend caution when introducing dogs to cats in the home. Recommendations on the suitability of placement with children by age are based on behavioral observations including energy level and response to body handling. We never recommend leaving young children unsupervised with dogs, and we cannot guarantee the behavior of dogs with children, other pets, or cats. Behavioral observations in the shelter environment should be considered as a snapshot of the behavior of the dog at a given point in time and may not be indicative of a dog's overall mental health. The Joplin Humane Society believes all adopters need to be prepared to invest time and energy into working with their new dog, as animals arrive at the shelter from a variety of situations and scenarios and may have had little to no prior training. Dogs should never be fed together unless it is known that they do not possess resource-guarding tendencies. We always encourage adopters to research the breeds or mixes of breeds before adoption as many can have unique characteristics that may or may not fit into their families. Keep in mind that the transition from the shelter to a home environment is stressful for dogs, and the Rule of 3 should be used as a rule of thumb when introducing a dog to their new surroundings. For the first 3 days, fear, anxiety, and stress levels are at their highest; and dogs may appear lethargic, remain hidden, are easily excitable, or have a loss of appetite. In the next 3 weeks, dogs will be actively developing a routine, and new personality traits may appear as stress levels decrease. During this period, it is recommended that adopters limit the dog's exposure to new people and places as they adjust and keep them in a crate or designated quiet room when left alone. Time outside of the home should be short, and crowds or loud noise should be avoided. After 3 months, a bond has developed between the dogs and their new family, and the animal should appear more comfortable in unfamiliar situations.
