My story

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

How do you like your potatoes? Baked? Scalloped? Couch? If you answered couch potato, Mississippi is the dog for you! After spending time in foster, we're happy to support Mississippi isn't much for long walks or sprints around the yard. She's much more happy to bake in the sun and nap quietly by your side.

Mississippi has learned the art of sleeping in her crate, getting her steps in and enjoying the company of people big and small and all the ages. She's never met a human she doesn't like and her wiggles will grab your heart and swoon!

Mississippi is under the care of APA!'s clinic to lose a little weight and get some lumps and bumps checked out. She'd love a home to help her through this journey with the support of our medical staff! Come by and meet her in person today!
