About Missy
Meet Missy, a charming 5-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix weighing about 12 lbs. Rescued in the Southwest after her previous owner could no longer care for her, Missy carries an affectionate spirit and a touch of independence. This expert lounger delights in spending time near her humans but is equally content to enjoy her own space. With a gentle demeanor, she is polite with both people and other dogs, and while she's likely to get along with cats, she hasn’t been tested with them yet. Missy is crate trained and has impressive leash manners. She knows commands like sit and stay and thrives on simple routines—a morning walk that she genuinely enjoys followed by some cozy time in her favorite nap spots. Although she’s not into toys or fetch, her calm and easy-going nature makes her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a low-to-moderate activity lifestyle. Ideal for an apartment setting, she’d thrive with an older adopter who appreciates her sweet and mellow nature. With her dainty face and huge, gentle eyes, Missy is a calming presence who loves to give and receive affection. Missy previously tested positive for heartworm but has completed her treatment.
