My name is
Missy!

Missy really couldn't be sweeter! There's something about the way she looks in photos that makes you think she's a big girl, but she's actually kind of tiny for a 'big dog' and only weighs 41 pounds! With her cute little scooped nose, she looks as much like a Boston terrier mix as anything else. All we know about her history is that she was confiscated from her original owner and taken to the shelter, where she was about to be killed when we rescued her. We don't think she was treated badly, because she shows no signs of trauma. She's settling into her foster home beautifully and is a devoted and loyal companion who seems to want nothing more than to be part of a loving family.

For some reason we expected her to be a bit rough around the edges, but in fact that couldn't be further from the truth! She's behaved wonderfully in the car, in the house, on the leash, passing other dogs, and meeting new people (though she was a little scared of a man with a baseball hat holding a big box). She LOVES her soft new bed, and is wild about snuggling and playing in the backyard with her new little boy.

One of the most exciting things we've discovered about Missy is that she instinctively looks to her foster mom for guidance and direction, which is absolutely fantastic. This shows an obedient dog who is eager to engage and learn. She is very treat-motivated and is going to be a joy to train!
