She currently has a foster home with 2 other little dogs she plays with very well. Missy has lots of Shepard energy and would do best with plenty of room to run and play. She is a real smarty pants and does best when she has a job to do. Her job can be as simple as working on her commands such as sit, down, touch and come. Recently, we started playing games that mentally stimulate her such as puppy puzzles or hiding kibble in muffin tins and covering them with small toys or tennis balls. She loves to exercise her mind and figure her puzzles out with a little treat! Missy does well with children, other adults and dogs of all sizes. She is kennel trained, leash trained, potty trained and knows basic commands. If you can give Missy some room to run and play, a loving family and understand I am a Shepard mix - I am intelligent, I need structure, I need boundaries, I need a job, Missy would be a great addition to your home!
