Meet Missy 💛
Age: ~1 year
Personality: Sweet, gentle, and soulful
Missy is a beautiful young dog with the softest heart. Despite being only about a year old, she has clearly had a tough start to life and has already raised at least one litter of puppies. That experience shows in her calm, nurturing nature and the quiet kindness she brings to every interaction. She truly would not hurt a fly.
Missy is still coming out of her shell and learning what it means to simply be a dog. With patience, love, and consistency, her confidence continues to grow and her personality blossoms a little more each day.
Likes & Preferences
• Loves chew bones, calm environments, and being close to her people
• Learning to enjoy toys. She is unsure at first but warms up once they smell familiar
• Strongly prefers companionship over being alone for long periods
Good With…
• Dogs: Yes. Gets along well with the resident dog
• Cats: Yes. Gentle and respectful
• Children: Yes with older children. She has not yet been tested with younger kids
Ideal Home
Missy would thrive in a patient, loving home that understands she is still learning and building confidence. A home where someone is around more often, such as work-from-home, a flexible schedule, or another dog for company, would be ideal. She does not love being left alone for long stretches and prefers to stay close to her people.
Continued positive reinforcement training will help her grow in confidence and deepen her bond with her humans.
Quirks & Endearing Traits
• Extremely gentle and soft-natured
• Still learning how to play like a dog after likely spending much of her early life on her own
• Very people-oriented and affectionate in a quiet, tender way
• Trust builds with time, but once she trusts you, she is fully committed
Training & Manners
• House-trained: Yes
• Leash: Walks nicely on leash
• Recall: Currently learning
• Car rides: Still unsure
• Barking: Minimal
Behavioural & Medical Notes
Missy is still adjusting to home life and may show mild separation discomfort when left alone for long periods. This continues to improve with routine, reassurance, and companionship. There are no known medical concerns at this time.
