My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Missio is a relationship kind of guy, a quietly thoughtful pup who forms strong bonds with his people given a little time and patience. He enjoys short walks but is just as happy lounging by your side. You’ll often find him stretched out in a sunny spot in the home or yard, soaking up the warmth. Calm and well-mannered, Missio did wonderfully being free-roam at home.

He loves treats and training, already mastering cues like sit and place. One of his favorite games is guessing which hand is holding the treat. Once settled in, his playful side emerges with toys, zoomies, and his signature foot pats. He’ll lean against you for booty scritches and cuddles.

Missio thrives on routine and is ready to share a calm, loving life with a special person. Could that be you?
