Story
Missy was adopted from us four years ago and was a loved member of a family, but her mom got very ill and was unable to care for her any longer. So, she is back with us and in the market for a new home! Missy is approx 9 years old now. She has long, lanky legs but only weighs 10lbs. When she initially came to us, she had no socialization and was very nervous. She will likely always be a little shy (especially with men), but she does bond with her family once she is comfortable. Even when Missy is the most scared, she has never been aggressive. She doesn't growl or even snarl, she just tries to hide. She is a sensitive soul and just needs someone to give her some time to adjust to show her true personality. Now, when her foster mom gets home, Missy runs over to greet her with a wagging tail. Missy was always really quiet and mellow with us. She isn't a big cuddler but she likes to be near you. She enjoys perching on the back of the couch and relaxing most of the day. She is happy to just hang out at home and is a really easy girl! She can be left alone for hours without any issues! Missy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She just had bloodwork and a dental so she is good to go! She is also housebroken and crate trained. She isn't super excited about toys or food, but she loves her blankets! She also enjoys walks and does well in the car. Missy gets along with dogs and cats, but would be fine being the only pet. Due to her being nervous, we think a home with no children or hyper/large animals would be best.
