Meet Missy!
Missy is an 8-month-old, 40lb Husky mix who is finally ready to find her forever family… and we could not be more excited for this special girl!
Missy deserves the world. Truly. She is the sweetest, silliest soul with so much love to give.
When Missy first arrived three weeks ago, she was utterly terrified. Surrendered through no fault of her own, her previous family simply had too many dogs and couldn’t give her the time or care she deserved. Missy went from living her whole life in a familiar pack of dogs with her parents to the overwhelming reality of a kennel. Life at home was all she had ever known and suddenly everything changed.
She didn’t know how to leash walk. She wasn’t used to a collar. The world felt big and scary. She would cower in the back of her kennel, unsure of new people and new surroundings. Our team worked so hard to help her understand she was safe - that hands could be gentle, that voices could be kind, that the world wasn’t something to fear.
And oh… have we seen the light come back into her eyes.
Now? Missy is HAPPY.
She loves to run. She loves to zoom. She loves being outside and feeling the wind in her fur. And more than anything? She LOVES being with her people. If you’ve been searching for a velcro dog… you’ve met your soulmate. Missy wants to be touching her humans 24/7.
She walks nicely on leash and is an incredibly smart girl with so much potential. She’s still timid with new people at first, but once you’re in? You’re in for life. You’ll have a loyal best friend who will reward your patience and love every single day.
Missy does well with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with another confident pup to help her continue building trust. She would likely do well with cats. Because she can still be nervous with loud or unpredictable environments, she’s looking for a home without young children - older teens who understand giving a shy dog time and space would be just fine.
We are beyond proud of how far Missy has come. Now all she needs is someone willing to see her, to give her the chance she’s been waiting for.
All of our adoptable pets are...
- Spayed or neutered
- Vaccinated
- Blood tested
- Microchipped
- Flea treated & dewormed
