People Oriented! 🐕 Social & Home Life ● How are they with people (adults/kids/new people)? Missy is great with people and wants to meet and sniff everyone. ● Behavior when left alone or when guests visit: Missy has mastered the crate! It only took her a week with us to get comfortable in there. She sleeps in it at night with the door open, and when we leave the house we just put a little treat or some kibble in there and close the door and once we’re gone she doesn’t whine or bark. 🎓 Training & Manners ● Potty trained? Yes! She almost never barks, so her way of telling you she has to go out is when she puts her paw on your face/paws at you. ● Crate trained? She settles in fast when left alone. She will sleep in her crate overnight with the door open. ● Leash skills: Good on a leash, but is still getting used to the big city so we keep her close. She get’s spooked by sounds, shadows, people, animals, but she will keep walking with you if you keep reassuring her. She will potty right away if it’s raining, cold, or windy and generally only needs a walk around the block. ● Commands known (if any): She knows her name and whistle and will come, she knows “go to bed” means go to your crate, and knows “go lay down” 🌞 Daily Life ● Typical day with you: Breakfast (8a), morning walk, work from home (she’s GREAT - sleeps under my desk all day), afternoon potty, dinner (6p), bedtime potty (10p) ● Exercise needs: Low. 1 walk around the block and she’s content. ● Favorite activities or toys: She loves her humans more than toys. Her favorite activity is burrowing in blankets. 🏡 Ideal Home ● Only dog / With dog / Either: Solo! She has lived with other dogs before! . She also thrives with human attention. ● Good fit for apartment living? Yes! Rarely barks. ● Best type of household (active, moderate, calm): Calm to moderate. ● What kind of adopter would be the best match? Happiest if you work from home or can spend a lot of time with her. She’s a people kinda girl. 💙 Foster Note She is a wonderful companion; she loves to be by your side. I’ve never met a dog who genuinely likes snuggling as much as she does. Great for someone needing a buddy. She not only looks like Dobby, she loves to steal socks! She got her “worm” nickname because she worms and squirms around in the covers while making her cozy nests. She also loves to watch the birds in the morning. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
