I was so lucky to adopt my black Pom from the Misfits! He is so loved and goes for walks and has another adopted Pom for his brother. Thank you Sue and all the volunteers who give these dogs a new home and a happy life!
I have adopted several animals through the years, but was so happy to find my current dog through Misfits Dog Rescue. Sue was a pleasure to work with and I love seeing all the happy endings on their Facebook page. Attached is a photo of our sweet boy, Teddy. No longer a misfit, but a perfect fit in our lives.
We adopted our Daisy dog nearly three years ago from the misfits rescue. Sue was so patient and kind. We were able to foster our dog while she waited for vetting and to make sure she was a good fit in our home. Turns out, she was the perfect misfit for our family. I follow the misfits closely and the incredible lifesaving work that Sue and the rest of the team do takes exceptional heart. We are so grateful for the fact that people like this exist in the world.

We adopted our dog Daisy from The Misfits in September. Sue was great to work with. She let us come back multiple times while we considered if our family was the right fit for Daisy. Communication was great and the adoption process was straightforward. Sue cares deeply for each of the dogs that comes through her door and it shows. Thanks for everything!
Sue is amazing and loves all of these pups! We adopted our sweet Allie girl thru Misfits! She insures that they are going to a wonderful new home!
We adopted our wonderful Sophie from Misfits. They care about every animal and make sure the placement will work. I truly admire, respect and support Misfits. Misfits is the best!
Sue is amazing -- rescues and rehabilitates dogs others consider a loss. I have adopted 3 Misfits that are a joy, I'm forever grateful to her for them.

Sue is completely devoted to these animals. She loves them unconditionally. The environment she provides is loving and compassionate. Making sure they finger their perfect forever home.
I have adopted two dogs through Misfits Dog rescue twice and had perfect fabulous experiences both times. Misfits thoroughly and carefully screens applicants so the dog and potential adopters are ensured to be the best fit for one another. The rescue ensures their dogs are healthy prior to making them available for adoption. They also evaluate their dogs so they can provide potential adopters with important information, such as if they are good with other dogs, cats, children etc. I highly recommend Misfits dog rescue to anyone interested in adopting a rescue dog!
Sue has rescued, rehabilitated, and found loving homes for at risk dogs for many years. She puts a lot of love and patience into building trust in fearful dogs and getting them healthy and ready for the perfect forever homes. You couldn't ask for a better rescuer or rescue.

Wonderful rescue in my area that I have adopted from and plan to do so again in the future. They are a small rescue that are always needing more fosters in order to save more homeless dogs. Please support them and find your best furfriend.
I have adopted 2 dogs in the past and I will certainly do so in the future!! Their process is thorough and fair.

My last two dogs I adopted from them! I got 2 "seniors" and they both are gone now (RIP). When I am done with traveling next spring I will adopt more from them! Excellent group who are really invested in the betterment of "rehomed" dogs.
After loosing my little dog to cancer and grieving for 9 mos., I started a search for a new rescue. I met and was qualified by Susan Sterritt . She called me one morning and told me she had a perfect match with a slightly handicapped 8 year old rescued from a hoarder. I declined, but said I would come meet. Well I couldn’t go home without this new little guy. Susan not only matched us so perfectly, but she had him vet checked and a total dental. I have now had my little Wattle Baby for 2 years and when I stop at Misfit Dog rescue, he runs to her for love and thanks. He remembers Susan’s kindness and caring.

This non profit rescue is without a doubt the best most loving pet rescue I’ve ever had the pleasure to be a small part of. I am one of many who have seen the miracles that happen when someone like Susan Sterritt gets involved. She is an Angel on earth. She cares about each and every animal that she rescues. I’m the happy owner of one of those misfits and I’m so grateful for her and the loves she saves just by being king, loving and caring. 5 gold stars is not near enough for the time and determination to make sure that no animal gets left behind. She is truly an ANGEL on earth. ♥️
I put in an application and got a quick response. Great communication, answered all our questions. Wonderful to work with them!!
Misfits is the best! Our Smudge came from them 12 years ago, and he’s the best dog ever! Sue takes dogs bound for euthanasia, and she and her crew get them ready for prime time and owners who will love them forever. Here’s our Smudge:

I am a rescue volunteer and have worked with Misfits for a number of years. The reason I have chosen to work with Misfits is that they are a small organization and truly care for the dogs. Many dogs that have been in the program are seniors that just need a chance for a second beginning. They also take in dogs that need medical care, and dogs that have been passed on by other groups because they need special treatment to overcome trauma they have experienced. This speaks volumes for the organization.
Personally, I adopted a Misfit, and he has been a joy to have. I'm grateful for the support Misfits gives to dogs that would otherwise not have a chance.
Misfits Dog Rescue is the best! The volunteers really care what happens to the animals they save. They heal them, groom them, and find loving fosters/forever homes for all the dogs/pups.
I adopted my dear MoJo-Dog from The Misfits a few months ago. My experience is that they are very careful in reviewing the applications of potential adopters, and they stand behind their adoptions. I often see them taking in challenging cases involving great medical expense, but they provide the care that is needed. Misfits is a wonderful rescue that I am happy to support, and I highly recommend them.
I love supporting the Misfits Rescue because they have proven that they really care about their rescues. I follow them on Facebook and it's so rewarding to see the end results of the rescues and adoptions!
I am so thankful for all the dogs that Sue takes from the Humane Society. She makes sure all of the dogs at Misfits are vetted and go into loving homes! I love Misfits Dog Rescue!
Sue does a wonderful job of taking "misfits" and finding them wonderful homes! She has saved many lives and spread a lot of happiness. Thanks so much for what you do, Sue!
A note of appreciation to the leaders and team at The Misfits Dog Rescue. I adopted my smart, bouncy terrier, Maysie, from the organization in the summer of 2016. I was impressed with all aspects of the adoption process, from the website, to the initial calls/emails, to the 2x in-person visits by me to adoption events, to the home inspection by a Misfit team member, and finally, to the actual adoption of my girl. I especially appreciated that Maysie had been fostered by a loving family right up until the day I picked her up, because she was so well-adjusted and calm, ready to be loved without reservation. We still enjoy and use the "Wrapped in Love" fleece blanket (shown here) given to us on adoption day, when Susan personally delivered Maysie to me. My life has changed for the better from that moment on.
Thank you, Susan Sterritt and volunteers, for the very fine work you do!
We adopted our dog Muffin from Misfits Dog Rescue. They work hard at finding good homes for the dogs they rescue.

These 2 pup's, Trooper and Sassy, are Misfits grads. They came to our family 7 & 8 years ago. Sue, CEO, is a wonderful leader for this organization.
Highly reputable, compassionate and "got their stuff together" rescue which takes sweet babies from unfortunate situations, makes them whole again (through donations) and gets them adopted into wonderful homes. Cannot recommend them enough. Tell all your friends, and donate when you can. They are simply FABULOUS. Oh, and I love fostering for them!

Misfits is a fantastic organization with wonderful, compassionate volunteers who give their time so freely to rehabilitate, foster and assist dogs in finding their new forever families. They follow up, answer any questions, and genuinely care for the animals in their rescue. When I adopt again, it will be from Misfits.
I was rescued by Olive, a spunky lil' chihuahua, courtesy of Misfits Dog Rescue. She has brought joy and light back into my life and every day I fall in love with her a little more. To think she would have been euthanized without the intervention of Misfits Dog Rescue breaks my heart. The world would have been poorer for it.
I was sooooo lucky that I found Misfits Dog Rescue to volunteer with! There is genuine love for the work, grit to get the work done, and affection for every dog that comes through the doors. I've been fortunate to foster dogs for this rescue and it is the best feeling to be able to take a little misfit, who is scared and often medically challenged for awhile, and see the dog through foster care and on to a loving forever home! Sue is always honest about her dogs and will always tell adopters about the challenges for each dog--and all the good stuff, too! 100% recommend this rescue!!

I'm so impressed with Sue and how she runs the organization. She takes such great care of the dogs that she brings in--literally in her home. In fact, I love this rescue so much I decided to volunteer and help save pups! Sue gives dogs that would often be passed over at larger shelters and humane societies a second chance and she works wonders bringing them around to be adoptable! Often what it takes is removing them from the scary surroundings of a large rescue and getting them used to a home setting and used to getting love and affection from a human. AND she provides the medical care that the dogs need, as well.
Sue, the head of Misfits is my hero,I adopted a dog from hr. I use to rescue so we often chatted . The best quality of a good rescuer is to always put the dog first. It is the hardest job ever, and she does it tirelessly
Last year I became quite ill, and could not take care of my sweet "unadoptables". Sue took
several of them, and came to MY rescue.
Not only does she deserve the highest rating, she deserves a medal.
Very thorough And careful with the placements. Sue treats everyone of these dogs like they are her very own and is very fussy about who she allows to adopt. I feel privileged to know her and to be a part of this wonderful group
We adopted our beautiful from Misfits Dog Rescue 5 yrs ago and I’m so thankful that they gave her another chance!
I adopted Darla in August of 2021. Darla was a sweet and gentle, loving 8 year old Shih Tzu. She was found on the streets having been abandoned. Sue and Misfits team surrounded her with love and gave her the medical attention she needed. It was love at first sight and my heart was filled with joy when I brought her home.
When we discovered another health issue, Sue took her back to Misfits and after surgery nursed her until she was in good health and could return home to be with me. Because of Sue and Misfits team Darla was able to live the life she deserved.
I highly recommend Misfits as the Rescue with a Heart and Soul. They will do whatever possible to help a dog in need. I will adopt again.

A wonderful organization that helps find loving families for dogs who might otherwise be euthanized. I never worry about how my donations are being used because of the integrity of this nonprofit!
Such an amazing rescue. Caring, thoughtful and goes the extra mile to ensure these doggos are paired with their perfect match.
The MisFits Rescue is a compassionate group dedicated to the saving of neglected and abused dogs. They have done wonderful things for animals, including taking in the old and infirm, with expensive vet bills, rehabilitating them and finding wonderful homes for them. Look no further if you are looking to volunteer, foster, or just donate to a fantastic organization-- this is one of the best and most reputable out there!
My wife and I have owned dachshunds for over 40 years. We had one of our precious pups pass away and we were heartbroken. We had always gravitated to older dogs that no one wanted. We discovered MisFits Dog Rescue and they had a dachshund that had been abandoned on the streets of Canon City. This pup was in very sad shape and Sue Sterritt of MisFits had taken him in to give him a chance. His teeth were rotten and they removed 22. It was obvious that Ollie had been loved at one time and when we met him we knew we could provide him his forever home. MisFits and Sue Sterritt do an amazing job of saving the lives of so many abandoned animals. We’re proud to say that we know her. Terry & Susan Darby
Our family has been supporting this wonderful rescue for over 8yrs. They helped us complete our family when we adopted an older Misfit from them.
Amazing people with huge hearts. ❤️
We adopted our Andy. He was a one eyed Shih Tzu. Such a love. We would definitely adopt from Misfit's again.
My 3 Misfits are my babies two of them were scheduled for euthanasia. Misfits saved them and I am blessed to have them!❤❤❤
Amazing. I had taken custody of an abused Shih Tzu in a trailer park and Susan took the dog into her rescue, got her the surgeries and health care she needed, and adopted out to a wonderful retired couple. I always have a birthday fundraiser for the misfits.
I have no personal experience but I do know someone who has adopted from Misfits before. My friend had a very good experience through the adoption process. I have been following them for a while now, and they do great work and have the sweetest little dogs that deserve the best forever home.
Love this selfless, generous rescue. Sue is one of the hardest working people in rescue in this area. She has a small but mighty rescue with the biggest heart of all.
with all the love they give, this rescue reminds the dogs that have given up, that it’s okay to love again.
I can not say enough about The Misfits. The care and kindness they show each and every dog is amazing. They give dogs a chance when they were “thrown” away or on kill lists. We are so blessed to have adopted a Misfit and all of our future ones will be a Misfit.
I have rescued two dogs from Misfits. This rescue does such an awesome job of adoption and rescue. Such a big heart. Will rescue again from them ❤️
We have two Misfits, both of our babies have been with us for a year now. We couldn't be happier with the Misfits Dog Rescue. They were extremely helpful! Thank you to everyone who works to make things happen!
My two wonderful fur babies were from Misfits. GOD sent us Nugget in 2015. He was rescued from wandering alone in the middle of nowhere outside of Denver. He was so covered in mats that they first thought he was a medium-sized dog, and had no clue if he was a male or female. Once cleaned up, the groomer exclaimed that there was a little Golden Nugget under all that mess, hence, his name! Nugget was an underweight 7-pound (now 9) Maltipoo (more poodle). Sue went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly with our adoption!! She was beyond helpful!! About a year later the Misfits rescued a teeny-tiny 6-month old Maltipoo (more Maltese) from somewhere in Texas. She was called Matilda, but we changed it to Talitha (Tali) which means little girl or little lamb. She made Nugget look huge! She is now a bit rolly-polly & almost as big as her brother! They are the light of our lives, and it never would have happened if not for Misfits, Sue, and all the wonderful volunteers! I have since sent a number of people to the Misfits to find their own fur babies. I will always be thankful to the Misfits for completing our family!
I rescued 3 dogs from them over the last 6 years. Because the pups were fostered in loving homes they were already calmer. They received a thorough medical checkup, to include teeth cleaning, shots and any surgical procedures before they were adopted out. Each of my new pups. came home with a special hand made blanket of their own and and adoption pictures. It felt carefully planned and special for both me and my new friend.
I got the love of my life from The Misfits Dog rescue.. Sue is an amazing person! The misfits team is awesome!!! I would highly recommend future adopters to check them out!!!!
Awesome caring and giving organization. They are selfless in caring and finding a forever home for the pets that people have abused and or neglected. I adopted one. Highly recommend and support.
Sue is absolutely amazing, she is the most caring loving person to all her rescues. She works tirelessly and does her very best for every dog. I rescued my sweet Milo 6 years ago and don't know what i would do without him.
A wonderful organization who’s dedication to the wellbeing of animals is beyond measure. We adopted the best dog on the planet from them and they were through in vetting us to make sure she was going to the right people…
My adopted Dog Star was one of a litter of puppies, along with the two mothers who were found on the streets of L.A. The Misfits Dog Rescue took some of these puppies in and I got Star at 8 weeks old. This group is amazing, the people pour their heart and soul into getting these “Misfits”healthcare and training to where they are adopted. Each person and home are visited to make sure the dog is going to a responsible and loving forever home. I would highly recommend them to any responsible person/family looking to adopt a dog.

What a great group of caring people. ❤️ They keep you up to date and informed of all of their rescues, and even keep you updated on their progress in their new home. Thank you for all of the love, hard work, and time you put into each individual rescue.
This is a wonderful dog rescue! I volunteered as a rescue photographer taking professional photos of the adoptable pets for their website and social media. The dogs were always washed and well cared for and loved on by the transport volunteers and CEO who brought the pups to my studio. They were always very polite and appreciative of the services I provided. I have several friends who have adopted from this organization as well.
We got two dogs from Misfits. We love them dearly ❤️ I truly appreciate all the effort that the Misfits team does saving these dogs. We will certainly go back if ever we are adopting again.
Got little Toby through this rescue. They are awesome and go the extra mile for those dogs. Amazing people. ❤️❤️❤️
We adopted a dog from Misfits recently, everything went very smoothly, friendly people, and we got a great dog.
A thorough and conscientious rescue. Multiple recommendations sent us to this rescue when we were ready to adopt. A true caring heart is behind this nonprofit. Top notch.
Wonderful dog rescue! We've gotten two dogs from them. They are not concerned about only rescuing cute adorable, adoptable puppies....they help ALL dogs! They really care about where their rescues will be and with who. They truly love dogs as we do.
A rescue that is truly for the dogs...not profit or popularity. Highly support it. Wish they were all like this one.
We recently adopted the most wonderful dog from Misfits! Through the entire process it was clear that Susan and the other volunteers truly care about the animals and finding the right for them and everyone involved. They were responsive, did a thorough home visit and were easy to work with. Sitka settled in so well it's almost like he's always been here. We are so thankful to Misfits for bringing us this wonderful addition to our family.
Our beautiful dog, Cupid was adopted from the Misfits Rescue.
I can honestly say, that I have not met a more loving dog. He is so sweet. The people at Misfits rescue give their time, energy, and love to these dogs. They work so hard to find them kind, loving homes. We are so grateful to them!
I help with the transportation of the dogs. I drove almost to Kansas to pick up two dogs. One, Buddy, was very sick with tumors. Sue was able to get those tumors removed. Now Buddy is a happy, healthy, loveable dog. I am proud to be associated with Misfits and proud of all the dogs lives we have saved and improved. Tom
I adopted my sweet Lexi Lov from The Misfits. Her mama was adopted by a friend of mine. A senior pug was adopted from them by another friend. WOW...what great experiences to find a rescue as top notch as The Misfits!
Love The MIsfits! They rescue from many different sources, and absolutely go the extra mile (or 10) to save a dog in need...day in and day out! They see that all medical needs are met for the pups...often very expensive procedures. Many times, they rescue what shelters describe as a "fear aggressive" dog that turns into a mellow love bug once they are out of a shelter environment and into a safe rescue foster environment. Love that!
Thank you to Misfits Director, Susan, for the tireless work you do to save these wonderful dogs! And thank you for saving my little treasure...Miss Lexi Lov. I love her to the moon!
Sue and the Misfit crew are the best!!
She provides the best care and treats these little ones like they have always deserved!
I have had a few friends adopt from Susan and her rescue Misfits and have always heard nothing but rave experiences. When I decided to adopt another rescue dog I went straight to her FB page to really look into it. She is a small facility that is so loving and SO caring about each animal as an individual. Getting to know each animals quirks and habits so they can make a VERY informed decision on who would be a good fit for the animal. Her small army of volunteers seem to be of the same type of person, love and SO caring. Such compassion is hard to come by, and even harder to find the genuine love for each animal. I would strongly suggest for people to look into the Misfits for adoption of a small animal.
