My story

Missy Breed: German Shepherd Mix Gender: Female Weight: ~49.6 lbs Age: ~3 years Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Medium-High Health Concerns: Completed heartworm treatment; final injection on Feb 8, 2024 Heartworm Status: Negative Spayed/Neutered: Yes Missy’s journey began with heartbreak—abandoned in an industrial park and nearly struck by traffic, she was rescued just in time by a kind-hearted warehouse worker. Now 3 years old, this beautiful Shepherd mix is ready to find a forever home where she can thrive. Weighing just under 50 lbs, Missy is the perfect medium-large companion—athletic, affectionate, and incredibly smart. True to her Shepherd roots, she’s eager to learn, highly responsive to praise, and happiest when she’s included in everyday life. Missy has a medium-to-high energy level and would do best in a home that can provide both physical activity and mental stimulation. She’s always up for an adventure—whether it’s a walk in the park, a game of fetch in the yard, or proudly carrying around her beloved plush toys. She’s wonderful with other dogs and children, making her a great fit for an active family. However, due to her strong herding instincts, she’s not suited for a home with cats or other small animals. A secure, fenced yard where she can run and play safely is ideal. Missy recently completed heartworm treatment (Feb 2024) and is now officially heartworm-free, spayed, and in excellent health. Her resilience is inspiring, and her joyful personality remains untouched by her past. This sweet, spirited girl is looking for a home where she’ll be loved, included, and appreciated for the loyal, playful companion she is. Could you be the happy ending Missy’s been waiting for? Apply to foster to adopt via https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255 Adoption fee is $850

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Missy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
