About Missy

Meet Missy, an 8 year old, 10 pound, Min Pin mix! She came to us from a local shelter after she became stressed. Missy desperately needed some dental care. After her dental, she started to have a great appetite. Our vet discovered Missy has an occasional heart arrhythmia which requires no intervention. She also had a luxating patella that has been repaired. Missy came to her foster home extremely scared. She was very afraid when approached. Only 2 weeks later Missy was secure enough to show she loves to cuddle up on the couch and sleep in the bed. She is doing well with potty training. Missy would do best with a secured fenced yard as she now likes to run around for short bursts. Missy is learning to walk on a leash. She gets along with the other small dogs in her home and is even playing at times. Missy is extremely protective of her person (foster Mom) and home. She does OK with her foster Dad as long as he basically leaves her alone. Fearful of strangers, Missy doesn't take kindly to houseguests. She does not like men at all. Once she trusts you (you women, that is), she will bark or whine to be near you, so Missy is not a fit for an apartment or condo. Missy is looking for a quiet ADULT ONLY, most likely female only, home where someone is home most of day. Due to her fearfulness, only a home with no children is appropriate. Missy is up to date with her vaccines, spayed and had a recent dental. She is heartworm negative and remains on h/w, as well as flea, preventive. Missy's adoption fee is $295. You must complete and submit an adoption application before meeting Missy. If you are interested in adopting Missy, please visit heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your adoption application. The application serves as the basis for a conversation. Under normal circumstances, we serve only the metropolitan Chicago geographic area. We cannot follow our interview & home visit protocols with a potential adopter hours away. Any subsequent problems which might arise cannot be handled well with such long distance adoptions.
