About Missy

Missy is a sweet border collie mix, around 1 year old and weighing about 20 lbs. She's small but packs a personality with medium to low energy levels, making her a calm companion for her new home. Missy is housebroken and crate trained; she sleeps soundly through the night, easing any worries about bedtime. It's important to note that Missy has a high prey drive, so she'll need a secure 4-foot fence and would thrive as the only dog in the household. While she generally enjoys the company of people, she does not get along with other dogs or cats. Missy has some basic obedience training under her belt, and she is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations, including flea, tick, and heartworm preventive.
