Story
Missy (previously named Anise) was found as a stray and brought to the Associated Humane Society of Newark. She struggled in the shelter environment, but clearly lived in a home. Despite the stress, she bonded to the staff of the shelter and welcomed love and attention. She is estimated to be about 7 years old and is 15 pounds. She has had some medical issues since coming to Peace Pointe. First she had a lump removed, but thankfully the biopsy was good and it was benign! Phew. Sadly, after her first foster-to-adopt family fell through, she experienced sudden blindness… This poor little lady had to see an Ophthalmologist and it was determined she has an autoimmune disease (not contagious to other dogs) called Panuveitis. She is now clear from this, and can see fine!
Unfortunately, the steroids created or helped to grow a growth on her mammary gland. Sadly this poor little lady was not spayed until AHSNewark took care of her. Thankfully, the mass was removed completely and successfully! She is now cancer free!
Despite her health issues, she is very active and excitable! She loves listening to the birds, riding in the car, cuddling on the couch, guarding the front door from squirrel invaders, and playing with toys.
Missy walks very excitedly on the leash, and wants to meet most people who pass her by. She loves to cuddle with you, and like a typical terrier likes to dig and snuffle in your lap or on the couch. She could go home with a compatible pup.
Missy is currently in a foster home in Atlantic Highlands, NJ.
We are happy to do any meet and greets, and certainly multiple meet ups may be necessary. Are you the special family willing to give her this opportunity at a normal and cherished life?
