Meet Missy, a charming 5-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing about 12 lbs. Rescued in the Southwest, her previous owner turned her in through no fault of her own. Missy is the perfect blend of affection and independence. You might find her lounging comfortably in her favorite spot close to you, though she’s equally happy enjoying some alone time. With a balanced outlook on new experiences, she approaches them with just the right amount of caution and curiosity. She’s sweet and gentle with people, and she gets along well with other dogs, always ready for a friendly sniff. Missy is likely to get along with cats, although she hasn't been tested with them yet. Missy's crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and knows commands like sit and stay. Her ideal day includes a morning walk and plenty of relaxing between her favorite beds. Toys and games don’t hold much interest for her; she’s all about those cozy spots and brisk strolls. This calm, apartment-friendly lady would thrive in a low-to-moderate activity home, perhaps with an older adopter who appreciates a loyal companion to tag along. Missy has a gentle presence, described as having a dainty appearance with big, sweet eyes. She thrives on affection and is just as eager to give it back. Interestingly, she tested positive for heartworm but received treatment before moving north. Your new best friend is just one click away. Click apply to start the adoption process.
