My personality

My story

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

Meet Missy! Missy is a 4 year old Great Dane who is looking for a special forever home.

Missy was originally pulled from a less-than-ideal breeding kennel situation in another jurisdiction, and was in foster care with a rescue group while she underwent treatment for Heartworm. She has since been cleared of Heartworm and is healthy & ready for a permanent home! (She came to us a bit underweight, but her vet check was good and she simply needed more groceries)

Missy is incredibly sweet with people and loves to lean up against your legs when she's standing next to you. She rides well in the car and is very well-mannered and sweet! While Missy is not reactive in the shelter setting, unfortunately she cannot live with other pets and will need to be your one and only princess.

She is potty trained and knows some basic commands. Missy is currently on eye drops for some crusty/dry eyes, an may need future treatment if the problem persists, so her adopters should be comfortable following up with their vet for any future medical needs she may have. She may have Entropion, which could require surgery, but her veterinary team wanted to recheck that after she puts on more weight.

*PLEASE do research on this breed if you are not already familiar, especially with the cost of caring for/feeding these babies. They do tend to have a shorter lifespan than some of their smaller k9 relatives, but are one of the most loyal breeds out there! She is already settling in so nicely and we don't think it will take her long to settle into your home!

We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved.
