Missy Boxer Mix Kentwood, MI

Meet Missy! She came to us heartworm positive, but has completed treatment and is now ready to find her forever home! She is estimated to be 7-8 years old. It’s likely she was an outdoor dog, but has transitioned to an indoor life like a champ. It seems that she was never house trained before, but is 95% of the way there. She is crate trained and will happily go in without treats, but loves it when she gets a peanut butter Kong. She loves food and treats, but is great at munching at her food all day long.

She LOVES balls. Any kind of ball. She loves fetch and will drop her toy with the “Drop it” prompt so you can toss another toy for her. She also knows sit, come and “sweet girl” will get you some tail wags every time!

She does not get along with other dogs, and there are many off leash dogs in our neighborhood so I haven’t taken her on walks. However, we have a large yard and she does well on leash and harness. She tends to pull a lot if you just do a collar and leash. She loves to explore all the smells and is endlessly curious.

Her favorite person in our household is my 5 year old daughter. She is “bomb proof” with my 3 and 5 year old and is so patient. She is an excellent snuggler and one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met. She is fairly low energy and is content with some yard time and fetch/play time.

Missy deserves to spend the rest of her life knowing the comfort of snuggles on the couch, lounging in the sunshine and the happiness of a good belly rub.

Missy is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm/flea meds.
