Missy

Missy is a sweet, happy, adorable Basenji mix who was found on a school playground. She is very social and well mannered so she probably once had a home...

Missy is very playful, friendly, lovable, curious, adapts easily and is protective of her family. She quickly learned to sit and stay, she is very trainable, loves kids, most dogs, but dislikes cats. She is an active pup and enjoys chew toys, walks, belly rubs and play time! She needs a little improvement with potty training (maybe with a crate) and leash training, but she is a very quick learners. especially when treats are involved! Missy would be great with a family who has older kids or just one or two adults. She hasn't been around younger kids before, so I'm not sure how she acts with them, but she has never been aggressive. She also would probably be best being the only dog of the house, or with a more submissive dog. After a long day full of play time and love, she likes to curl up in bed with her family and cuddle.

This girl has a ton of potential! She really needs a wonderful home, and she is ready to move in! For more information e-mail: <lacy.ball@gmail.com>
