About Missy

Meet Missy, a charming little lady searching for a loving forever home. At about 5 years old, she takes a moment to check out new people before settling in comfortably. Missy is a great houseguest; she’s house trained, enjoys her crate, and rarely barks. She's easygoing and enjoys the company of both humans and canine friends. Missy loves spending time in the yard, playing with toys, and her excitement for food is always apparent. While she enjoys walks, she's still mastering the art of not pulling on the leash. Missy prefers families with adults or older kids and is open to canine pals but isn’t too keen on sharing her food with them. If you're looking for a delightful new family member, Missy is ready to meet you!
