Missi Got Adopted!!

This gorgeous girl is Missi. She's an American Bulldog - Labrador Retriever mix. She's not that tall, only a bit over knee-high on me, but she's an awesome little girl. She has lots of energy, and loves long walks, and I think she'd make a great running companion. She always stares longingly at the runners going by, and I tell her she'll be out there with one of them, one day.

 

She has beautiful, soulful eyes, and the loveliest freckles on her ears -- and her personality is just as pretty as her face. Like many bulldogs, she loves to be close to you, and give lots of kisses.

 

She'd do great with someone who knows about "power breeds" (as we call them), but I think she'd be just fine with anyone who's committed to giving her plenty of exercise to burn off her energy, and enforcing good manners. I take her for about a 2/3 mile walk on Saturday mornings and she does beautifully. Then we sit in the grass and snuggle.

 

Please consider taking Missi into your home and your life. She has so much love to give.

Missi is currently at the Humane Society of Missouri. Please call for availability and hours, and go meet her! She'll steal your heart.

 

10/17/09: Finally! I was out of town last weekend, when Missi disappeared from the website. She had been getting so depressed (some dogs really don't do well in shelters, no matter how much they're loved) that I was a little afraid to ask what happened to her. She got adopted! By a gay couple! I know it's rotten to stereotype, but gay couples seem to make the best dog parents. I'm so excited for her, going places and meeting people and out of the shelter! Yay, Missi! I love you, sweet girl!
