Missy is a 9 month old medium sized cross breed at only 22 inches and pretty much fully grown, we feel she is a Collie/German Shepherd cross Whippet is the other half of Chief (also featured on DogsBlog.com), the pair brought into our pound recently and under order of euthanasia. They had been handed in accused of sheep worrying which considering both were scared of their own shadow we find hard to believe.

On landing in our care it was easy to see that neither of these babies at such a young age had ever known a second of kindness. Both had never been shown how to walk on a leash and the minute you so much as looked at them they would drop to the floor urinating in fear. When you tried to walk them out they would crawl on their bellies under cars and just shake with fear at a human touch.

We left them together in kennels for a couple of months whilst their condition and weight built alongside their confidence. They have been taught not to fear but are still wary of men, and now both instead of acting feral on leash walk beautifully and enjoy their walks.

Missy is now in foster with 7 other dogs and gets on well with them. If anything Missy is guilty of trying a little to hard with the others and they are confused about having a teeny tiny sumbissive dog that rolls on their back licking at their faces over compensating by being too nice.

Missy has also been spotlessly clean but is a little more clingy at the moment than Chief and has formed a fierce bond with myself. So much so that I have spent the last two days ill in bed and Missy has been my constant companion. She has been fine if taken downstairs but has worried not for her but for me. She has spent each night also at the bottom of the bed keeping watch over me. She would though be fine left for short periods of time in the company of other dogs.

Missy is desperate to play with the other dogs and they will happily oblige for short periods although she is equally happy collecting toys and playing with balls which seem to be fast becoming her favourite thing in the world after me!

We feel to continue with confidence Missy would be best suited to a home with another young dog in there already she would totally love to be with a young playful male. As with all young dogs Missy would need someone around all or most of the time to allow her to continue through her training. She would also benefit from classes to help her confidence building.

Missy would make a fabulous agility dog for someone looking for a clever, willing to learn little dog who is fast on the move. Missy is deflead, dewormed, vaccinated, KC vaccinated, micro-chipped and neutered. She is going to be someones life, she is so loyal.
