About Missy

Missy is a spirited 4-year-old Pit Bull Terrier full of energy and personality. She loves spending time with people, welcoming affection and greeting her friends with a cheerful wag of her tail. While she has good leash manners, she sometimes pulls when her attention is caught by something interesting. Playful and active, Missy thrives on adventure but prefers gentle introductions to other dogs. She can feel overwhelmed in social situations, so careful management and thoughtful introductions will be essential when meeting new furry friends. If you’re seeking a lively companion who enjoys attention and new experiences, consider meeting Missy. She is at risk for euthanasia due to the current shelter overcapacity. A foster home or adopter who can give her the individual attention she deserves would make a world of difference. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
