My story

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

According to Missy's foster:

Missy's favorite things are: crawling up in my lap, following me around the house, spending time in the balcony making cute squeaky sounds at passing dogs, and going on walks.

Her special talents are: making adorable squeaky sounds to invite other dogs to play and being perfectly house trained.

Her perfect day would be: starting with a cozy cuddle on my lap, then enjoying a playful walk outside, followed by some time on the balcony making friends with passing dogs, and ending the day with more cuddles and companionship.

If Missy was an ice cream flavor, she would be: strawberry shortcake-sweet, delightful, and full of fun surprises.

Important facts about Missy: loves the outdoors, and is the perfect, house-trained companion. She brings joy and enthusiasm to everyday activities and is always eager to be by your side.

If you are interested in adopting Missy, please send an email to Adoptions@awla.org to arrange an initial meet & greet with the pet's foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
