About Missy

Missy has a striking white coat with black speckles, embodying an energy that’s simply infectious. She thrives on attention and loves running and playing, making her an excellent companion for active families. While she gets along well with other dogs, her exuberance can be overwhelming for small children, as she tends to knock them over while playing. Missy is deaf, but this doesn’t slow her down; she responds well to hand signals and shows off her impressive skills with commands like ‘down’ and ‘roll over.’ Her training includes an 8-week program in the Paws in Prison Program, where she's learned to communicate effectively despite her hearing challenge. She will graduate in October, and her ideal forever home would provide both adventure and continued training. Already house trained, she is eager to please. If you're looking for a vibrant companion with plenty of personality, Missy could be the one for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
