Missy (Adopted!)

Meet Missy, a darling little girl around 2 to 4 years of age. Missy appears to have been kept outside for her life as she has to be coaxed to come in.
Missy appeared to have never been groomed prior to the shelter getting her as she was badly matted and her toenails were grown into her feet. :o(
She isn't housetrained, but does pretty well if you make sure she potties outside prior to coming in. She just doesn't realize if she doesn't she's not suppose to potty inside. This could have to do with possibly being left outside.
Missy is just shy enough, she would not do well in a home with children or dogs that are active. She does ok with other dogs, but does appear to have some food aggression towards them & really prefers to just be left alone by them. She may very well like another doggie for company, but it needs to be a mellow dog.
Missy LOVES to be held and snuggled, so needs someone who wants a true 'lap' dog. :o)

Due to having treated several heartworm positive dogs recently, we DO require past proof of h/w tests & preventative given if you own a dog. We do NOT consider it proof if you have just had the h/w test done or bought preventative for the first time prior to or after putting in an application.

Missy is fostered in Kansas, 6 hours from St. Louis, and we do not ship our dogs. The adopter must be willing to come to the foster home in Kansas and meet the dog prior to final adoption approval. We do not allow friends or family of the adopter to pick up the dog unless the adopter is with them. We will not consider an adoption out of area without a vet and groomer reference.

We do not place dogs in homes with toddlers and babies. Please read the shelter home page for placement restrictions prior to submitting an application.

Our Adoption fees are based on the age of the dog and range from $350 to $200 each. Dogs up to age 2 are considered puppies. The fees are used to pay the vet and microchip expenses. All dogs are up to date on shots, heartworm negative, spayed or neutered and any known problems are treated before they can be adopted. Last year our vet bills were $3000. higher than our adoption fees, so we are not able to adopt dogs without an adoption fee
