About Missy

Meet Missy! This sweet, baby-faced girl is an expert at lounging, striking a lovely balance between affection and independence. She enjoys your company, wagging her tail as you sit nearby, but is just as content to relax solo in her cozy spots around the house. Missy approaches the world with a mix of curiosity and caution. With people, she’s gentle and mellow. She's polite with other dogs and is likely cat-friendly, although she hasn’t been tested with them directly. She exhibits no separation anxiety, easily settling in whether she’s alone or surrounded by guests. Crate-trained and with great leash manners, Missy knows commands like sit and stay. Her ideal day includes a morning walk—her favorite activity—followed by lounging across various favorite beds. While she may not show much interest in toys, a cozy spot and a brisk walk are all that she craves. A calm apartment with a low- to moderate-activity owner would suit her perfectly. She’s an endlessly calming presence, described by her foster as a dainty lady with huge, sweet eyes, just wanting to give and receive affection. Missy has been treated for heartworm and is on a prescription diet to prevent crystals. Ready to meet this gentle soul? Click apply to start the adoption process.
