Missy (previously named Anise) was found as a stray and brought to the Associated Humane Society of Newark. She struggled in the shelter environment, but clearly lived in a home. Despite the stress, she bonded to the staff of the shelter and welcomed love and attention. She is estimated to be about 6 years old and is 14 pounds. She is very active and excitable! She loves watching birds, riding in the car, cuddling on the couch, guarding the front door from squirrel invaders, and playing with toys. Missy walks very excitedly on the leash, and wants to meet most people who pass her by. She loves to cuddle with you, and like a typical terrier likes to dig and snuffle in your lap or on the couch. She could go home with a compatible pup. But no kitties, birds, or small mammals for this little lady. She absolutely loves to chase birds and watch them do their bird things. She would love to walk with you, or even run if you're up for it! She is completely housebroken and doesn't mind her crate. Missy has an adorable underbite! Missy is a tough but sweet cookie looking for a second chance at life with a family who will cherish her and understand her terrier-ness! She would do best in a home that can provide her with structure and routine. She is a dominant girl, and would ideally go home with a compatible pup that can keep up with her or respect her boundaries. Missy is currently in a foster home in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. We are open to fostering-to-adopt, and happy to set up meet and greets with those who apply!
