Missy Ann has been on quite the journey — and what a glow-up it’s been. After months of dedicated care and every effort to save her injured leg, Missy ultimately underwent an amputation. And then? She absolutely thrived.

Missy previously had a non-healing wound on one leg that was later diagnosed as chondrosarcoma (a type of bone cancer). To fully address this and give her the best chance at long-term health, the affected leg was amputated. Based on her treatment and recovery, we believe Missy is now cancer-free. While she does not require any further medical care at this time, we want adopters to be aware of her history.

Losing her leg hasn’t slowed her down one bit. Missy Ann has adjusted beautifully and gets around like it was never any other way. She’s been an honorary office dog during her recovery and has stolen hearts left and right with her playful, happy-go-lucky lab personality.

She loves toys, enjoys playtime, and brings that classic lab joy wherever she goes. Missy Ann can be a little selective with other dogs, so a meet and greet is required to ensure a good match, but with the right fit she will be an amazing companion.

After more than 4 months with us, we’ve grown incredibly attached to this special girl — which is exactly why we want nothing but the very best for her. Missy Ann has faced everything with resilience and grace, and now she’s ready for what she’s always deserved: a loving home of her own.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
