About Missy

Meet Missy, a delightful Dachshund-Beagle mix estimated to be between 6 to 8 years old and currently at a healthy 32 lbs after a significant weight loss journey. When she arrived at BAARK in July, she faced serious health challenges, including bladder stones and overbreeding, both of which have been addressed with surgeries. Now, Missy is thriving and has learned to hold her urine until it's time to go outside. She enjoys the company of other dogs and is affectionate with people she knows while maintaining her independence. Missy loves road trips and errands with her foster family, riding well in the car. While she requires training to improve her leash manners, she does well left alone and isn't fond of being crated. Her ideal home is with a family who can provide plenty of attention and involve her in daily activities. Older children and possibly another dog to play with would suit her well. It’s crucial that her new family follows her dietary needs to prevent obesity from returning, sticking to the recommended Royal Canin Urinary SO diet. Missy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and in great overall health. Ready to welcome this precious pup into your life? Reach out to BAARK today!
