‘OLD DOG OF THE WEEK’ FEATURES NEW PHOTOS AND A FRESH WRITE-UP FOR AN OVERLOOKED OLDIE THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR A WHILE BUT IS STILL WAITING FOR A NEW HOME.
Please help Missy by sharing this page!
Beautiful Missy is an 11-year-old Akita who currently in a foster home in Northumberland through Friends of Akitas Trust. She likes being the only pet at home and can live with children age 12+.
Missy is a very bright lady and loves playing with her toys and solving puzzles (i.e. finding the hidden treats!). She knows what’s a dog toy and that they get put away in her toy box for her to help herself to. When her foster carers return home, she greets them with toy in mouth to invite them to play!
Missy is an affectionate girl who loves to snuggle up in front of the TV of an evening with her people. She also loves her walks! She enjoys going on adventures in the car to places she can explore the great outdoors, without having to meet other dogs face-to-face. She can be nervous or even reactive when another dog approaches so she’d really rather avoid this and just enjoy gallivanting in peace.
Another of Missy’s favourite things is food! She had been quite underweight when she first arrived in the rescue’s care but has recovered with TLC and is now a healthy weight. After her breakfast, she has a toothbrush chew and is quick to remind her foster carers of what’s due, if they forget.
Missy is altogether a delightful companion. She’s clean and well-behaved in the house and can be left for a reasonable amount of time but she does need plenty of exercise and likes routine. When it’s bedtime, she goes to her toy box and chooses one to take to bed with her!
