Doberman Pinscher and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Merriam, Kansas

The name is Missy and if you're looking for a loyal, lovable companion with just the right mix of sass and sweetness, allow me to reintroduce myself.

I'm gentle-hearted, a little shy at first, but once I warm up (a few treats help), I'm all about the good vibes only. I love toys, belly rubs, and snack time like it's my full-time job. And when I get comfortable? Oh, the kisses and tail wags don't stop.

I walk like I've got a purpose, because I do, right next to you. I already know sit, down, drop it and sometimes even shake (because I do like to work it!). And yes, I LOVE to fetch tennis balls and bring them right back like a pro. Missy don't miss.

I'd do best in a calm home, ideally with no kiddos under 12, just a chill vibe where I can truly shine. If you're patient and kind, I promise I'll flip it and reverse it into a beautiful friendship. Great example is I was in a foster home and properly met 3 well-behaved kiddos (5, 7 and 10). They were instructed to allow me to make the first move to meet them. It took no time for me to go up to them and greet them. Then, we had super time together with them throwing balls and me bringing them back, dropping the ball so they could throw again.

Let's take it slow... and make some magic.

Love,
Missy
