Missy

My story

Missy - Female Labrador Retriever Mix (BREED AND WEIGHT AT FULL GROWTH ARE BEST GUESS ONLY) DOB 2/6/25 Current Weight 18lbs Meet Missy. This sweet girl (along with her 3 siblings) were unwanted and dumped at the shelter. She's timid and cautious but very affectionate and smart. Already understands "sit" and "come". Sleeps overnight in a crate and handles it very well. She's a follower in a pack- does well with other dogs. No experience with cats but submissive and don't anticipate she'd have any issues. Shy around small children until she gains some confidence and comfort. She’s learning basic puppy manners (house training, walking on a leash) and is doing very well. She’s a total sweetheart and quick learner. If you think Missy would be a great fit to your family/home.

WE DO NOT DO OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescue dogs. We are committed to finding our rescues the perfect home. Together we can make a difference in the life of a dog. The adoption process should be a fun and exciting time for families and dogs. Our goal is to place our babies in forever homes. The potential adopter needs to be dedicated to their care and training for life. Understand that sharing your life with a dog can be a commitment of 15+ years. This would include feeding, exercise, training, vetting, and providing a loving home. Ask yourself, "Am I ready for this type of commitment?" If you are ready, we are here to help. We do have some requirements to help us find the perfect placement of our babies. WE ARE A FOSTER BASED RESCUE ONLY. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL BUILDING 1.
