Missy (On Trial 23/2/13)

Missy is a 6 year old Maltese cross. She's quite a character. She likes getting her photo taken and will pose sweetly for the camera. She just loves getting pats and attention, especially tummy rubs. She enjoys playing with toys, especially those squeaky toys that makes noise. She thinks she is so clever making it squeak. It makes me laugh to watch her.

Missy is very easy to bathe, she just stands there and seems to enjoy the massage she gets while getting clean. She has a non-shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and clipping (every 4 to 8 weeks) to keep her comfortable and beautiful.

Missy is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside. She loves her food and is not a fussy eater.

Missy would be best suited to a home where she is the only dog so she could get all the attention, or maybe just one other small, placid dog.

She is such a delight and real little character. She'll make you laugh every day and bring lots of love and smiles to your home.
