Missy came from a puppy mill situation, where she was used as a breeding dog without regard for her needs. Since coming to FBRN, Missy has come to know love and the comfort of life as a companion pup. Missy was adopted out but was returned when her new adoptive home realized she really needs a yard to be her happiest self.
Missy is a healthy and beautiful girl who loves to be loved. She enjoys children who are calm, and understand how to be respectful of dogs and their needs. She enjoys playing with dogs and gets along well with submissive canine pals of all sizes (especially the boys!), but Missy would be content to just be with her people all the time. Like most dogs, Missy loves treats and a comfy bed, and she loves to soak up the rays.
Missy is still working on becoming 100% reliable with housebreaking, but she does very well when kept on a regular schedule. She does not soil her crate and is familiar with using a doggie door. Missy would benefit from obedience training, so it would be great if her new family was willing to take her to classes. Missy doesn't seem to have food or toy aggression, although she prefers to share other dogs' food rather than sharing with them. She doesn't play too hard with toys, preferring instead to cuddle with toys and bring them back to bed.
Missy deserves to be in a home where she is the center of attention. The security of a permanent home is way overdue for this sweet soul. She loves nothing more than being with her people, giving kisses, and loving unconditionally. Missy needs a little bit of time to get used to new things, but then she happily and enthusiastically embraces new friends and new experiences. This would make her a great candidate for going to the office with her new mom or dad. She is very quiet and would love to keep you company while you work.
No one says it better than the one who knows Missy and loves her best, so here are the words of Missy's foster mom: "Missy is a sweet girl that just wants someone to love and love her back. She is a typical Frenchie and can be bull headed sometimes. Most of this stems from the fact that all her life she was in a puppy mill making babies, so she never had the opportunity to learn how to be spoiled and interact with other creatures. She has learned what it is like to cuddle in a warm bed and what it means to be spoiled. She sometimes forgets that she is not the boss and has to be reminded that she doesn't have to worry about things anymore. She is the hall monitor and believes it is her job to keep everyone in place. I believe it is the momma in her coming out. She treats the other dogs like her babies. When they are all having a wrestling match and get too rowdy, she is the one that tells them to calm down, just like a momma would do. Anybody looking for a sweet little girl to spend time cuddling with or spoil, Missy is waiting for you. She will reward you with devotion and laughs."
Missy is located in Northern Florida and will not be shipped.
