About Missy’s Breed: Terriers are known for being outgoing, energetic, and fearless. Many are described as “big dogs in small bodies” due to their bold personalities. They are clever and determined which makes them trainable. They thrive with consistent, positive reinforcement. Many terriers are affectionate and loyal to their families, but it is always important to do proper introductions with new people and unfamiliar dogs as they can sometimes be wary of strangers. Missy’s Ideal Home: • An active home where her new family will continue her training and keep her stimulated • A home without very small children, she would do great with kids aged 7+ • A home with other dogs where she can have a playmate or one with a family who is home more often than not • A home with a yard (fenced is preferred) where she can play as she grows up Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
