Optimum
Choices is not housing these dogs and has no further information on them. We are
simply posting their pictures here as a service to the Misha May Foundation.
Please contact Lorraine May, executive director, for further information at
info@mishamayfoundation.org. Applications may be downloaded from the link

Tragic: Out of every 10 families that get
dogs, only 4 families keep theirs beyond the first year.
Misha May is determined to change that, so we place a
great deal of importance on where each dog goes. We want
to work with you for a forever match. Please go to
http://mishamayfoundation.org/adopt.htm to read
about our adoption process and to complete an
application. Puppies are in a foster home. A completed
application is required before you can make a
private appointment to meet the puppies. Adoption fee is
$200 which includes spay/neuter, vaccines, de-worming
and micro chipping. Puppies may be chosen and adopted at
any time now, however, they may not be able to go to
their home that same day.
We are at the Lakewood Petco, near Wadsworth and Alameda
across from Bel-Mar, with some of our dogs, on the
second Saturday of each month between 3-5:30pm. You can
also go to our website events page,
http://mishamayfoundation.org/events.htm, to find
other locations where we will have our dogs up for
adoption. We are always in need of foster homes,
volunteers and donations of money and supplies. Email
info@mishamayfoundation.org if you would like more
information.

Am I too cute or what? You can call me J.T.,
short for Just Terrific, I guess! I am a neutered male 3 month
old Lab / Pit mix who is alive by the skin of my teeth. If you
adopt me, I'll tell you my entire dramatic tail....Any
way, I am pretty much housetrained and mannerly. I am lively but
not hyper. I play well with others, including younger smaller
puppies and bigger older dogs. I would love to snuggle, play and
run with you. Call me?
Twinkle
"I'm Twinkle and my 8 week birthday is on April 9th. I
am going to be a small - medium, but lively dog. And, of
course, I will be a very lively puppy. Misha May wants
you to remember that adopting a puppy is bringing the
baby of another species into your home. There is a lot
to learn about me and what I need, and I will require
a great deal of your time. In return, I will make your
life much better than you ever imagined.
I am ready to be separated from mom, a lab / boxer mix
who was left at a local shelter, on the verge of giving
birth. If I had been taken away from her earlier than at
8 weeks, I would not have had the time to learn
everything mom has to teach me. That could have caused
behavior problems to develop. Right now I am right where
I am supposed to be developmentally and socially, as I
have been living in a foster home with my family since I
was 1 day old.
The next 2 weeks with my littermates, without mom, will
help all of us pups build confidence in order to
transition to a very different life. I also get to play
with other friendly, professionally evaluated, puppies
and adult dogs that continue to teach me what I need
to know. Then we pups will be ready for adoption."
Twinkle is an inside dog whose best home includes a yard
with a secure fence so that she can play outside safely
when she gets older.Twinkle would love to live with a
friendly dog who will continue to teach her good manners
and the rules of the new house. She is too little to be
alone with children. She may be feeling lonely and
scared so she needs gentle loving patient people who
will help her adjust.
"Nobody knows anything more about my parents, especially
my dad. We assume he was a small dog. We will turn out
to be terrific dogs if the new home provides the
developmental attention necessary, as we are already
socialized and loving. Misha May will provide you with a
puppy development chart so that you can be sure to
continue to help us mature into healthy, happy members
of your family and society."
