Missy's Story
Hi, I’m Missy<br/><br/>I’m 3-years young and 25.5kg (56lbs)! I'm super fun, bouncy, and very smart — I know sit, down, stay, and paw (I happily accept payment in treats!). I love learning, and once I trust you, my goofy, happy personality really shines.<br/><br/>I can be nervous with new people and new environments. When I’m unsure, I might growl, shake, or try to create some space. I’m not trying to be tough — I’m just sensitive and still learning that the world is safe. With patience, calm handling, and structure, I build strong bonds and become much more relaxed.<br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs and have lived peacefully with one before, but slow, calm introductions are best. Because I can get overwhelmed, I’d do best in a home with older teens (16+) who understand boundaries.<br/><br/>I’m also a bit of an adventurer… which means I’m a big flight risk. If I get scared or feel too much leash pressure, my brain says “let’s go!” I need a secure yard, careful door management, and humans committed to keeping me safe. On walks, I’m strong and very aware of everything around me. I’m not reactive — just cautious — and I feel safest with calm, confident handling.<br/><br/>Because of my flight risk and sensitivity in new situations, the team at GTHS has placed me in their Underdog Program. That means my adoption fee is reduced and I come with lots of extra support to help me and my new family succeed.<br/><br/>What I need most is a structured, experienced, and patient home to help me keep building confidence. In return, you’ll get a loyal, clever, bouncy best friend who just wants a safe place in the world.<br/><br/>My underdog adoption fee is $100 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can't wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!<br/><br/>Bouncy Tail Wags<br/><br/>Missy
