About Missy

Meet Missy! She’s a charming 14-year-old, 8 lb. female Miniature Poodle, full of spirit. Missy stands on her back feet when she’s hungry and eagerly pops up when she spots the leash, ready for her next adventure. A grass roller and an explorer at heart, she enjoys car rides, too. Two years ago, Missy lost her owner and fell on hard times, coming into a pound in rough shape. Despite this, she walks with confidence, hints at her keen awareness of treats and meals, and has a zest for life. While she is semi hard of hearing and has cataracts, it doesn’t slow her down much. Missy is pee pad and house trained and recently had her teeth cleaned. She doesn't bark much either, showcasing her gentle demeanor. Though her age may say senior, her heart is young and vibrant. Missy is looking for a forever home without small children and would make a perfect walking companion. She’s fully vetted and ready for a loving family to cherish her.
