Missy

Missy's Story

Missy is a gentle, beautiful girl who can feel shy and worried, especially in new environments or when meeting unfamiliar people. She's looking for a patient, understanding family willing to give her the time and space she needs to settle in, build trust, and grow in confidence. A calm, quiet home would suit her best, ideally with indoor-outdoor access and plenty of opportunities to spend relaxed, quality time together. Once she feels safe, Missy is incredibly affectionate-she loves pats, leaning into you, resting her head on your lap, and enjoying gentle shoulder rubs. She can be sensitive to close handling or restraint, so ongoing positive, reward-based training will help her continue to feel secure and confident. Missy will also need time to adjust before starting walks, as new places can be overwhelming. Beginning with short, quiet outings after she has bonded with her family will set her up for success. She can be reactive towards dogs, so we recommend ongoing positive reinforcement training and management to support her. Best suited to a family with calm, older children who can understand her body language and respond appropriately, Missy can be very worried and unsure with new people, close handling and loud/unpredictable movements. Must meet all family at time of adoption. May prefer a calm, older dog friend in the home as she can be very tense and unsure of boisterous, barky dogs. She can become reactive and growling with these dogs. More social and soft with calm, female dog. Must meet other dog at time of adoption.
