03/09/04 - Missy 

Missy is a fawn female who is approximately 6 to 7 years old. She has cropped ears and a docked tail. Missy was surrendered because her owners landlord would not allow her to keep her. 

I picked her up today at the shelter. The shelter employee's said she had been very sweet but was a little unsettled by shelter life. When I asked if she wanted to go for a ride she couldn't wait to get out of the shelter. Missy traveled in the car like a perfect lady. She laid right down and rested for the entire hour and a half ride. Never a sound out of her.

After getting to my house she met my 3 dogs. 2 boxers and 1 small dog. Missy behaved wonderfully letting all the dogs sniff her. She noticed the cats but when told to "let it be" she moved on to other areas to investigate.

Missy walks very well on the lease. She wants to be near people. Has been good with the dogs, my teenage children and so far the cats. She does know her basic commands those she hesitates at first. I believe they just need some positive re-enforcement. She is not fond of the crate but will go into it with encouragement. Once in she lays right down and behaves wonderfully.

Do not let her age fool you. This lady still has plenty of play. She wants to play, snuggle and just feel secure in a home and not a shelter.
