More about Missy

Meet Missy, our sweet and affectionate 11-year-old Staffy girl.

Missy is an absolute delight and loves everyone she meets. Friendly, gentle and full of affection, she's happiest when she's by your side enjoying plenty of fuss and attention. Now she's looking for a loving home where she can put her paws up and enjoy her well-earned retirement years.

Since coming into our care, Missy has been making steady progress with her dog socialisation. She will need to be the only dog in the home for now, whilst new owners continue to build on her confidence around other dogs - in her own time and in neutral spaces.

Missy is looking for a home away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with access to her own private garden where she can relax and potter about. She has previously lived with children and could potentially live with sensible older children who will respect her space and won't be too overwhelming for her in her golden years. Unfortunately, she isn't able to live with cats.

Missy has shown signs of separation anxiety while in kennels and is not shy about using her singing voice to let everyone know she'd rather have company! Her new family should be prepared to gradually build up her time being left alone, and ideally have very minimal leaving hours while she settles into her new home.

Missy is more than ready to find a family to call her own. She has so much love to give and will make a wonderfully loyal companion for the lucky people who welcome her into their lives.
