One really sweet foster girl has finally found her new home – with a Georgian/French couple in Reims, France.

Life with Misty, who is now renamed Giselle, is lovely but with interesting challenges. Coming from a street life background means dogs like Misty need a lot of support and encouragement to reduce their anxiety. Things the rest of us take for granted, like walking across a park with family, can be a scary experience for a stray who is new to family life. However, love, patience and encouragement resolves most things and Misty is slowly but surely starting to gain confidence.  Forever mum Maria also recommends to consult dog behaviour experts who really helps in terms adapting to daily life. Five months ago, the couple adopted Gimli (now Francois) who has settled in beautifully by now and who is a great help and support for Misty in navigating family life in France. 

As education and awareness raising is key, Misty’s new family are doing everything they can to share information about the stray situation in Georgia, what life with a stray dog is like and how people can help initiatives like Zero Strays Georgia
