Missy is a 2-year-old smooth coat Saint Bernard weighing in at 86 pounds. Her current anthem in life is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", as she is the life of the party!
Missy gets along with dogs of all shapes and sizes and is super playful. She's a loveable, affectionate girl who often forgets just how big she is. Think...gigantic puppy! She's looking for a forever family who will help her learn some manners so she morphs into the refined lady she's meant to be.
While Missy is super sweet and friendly with all humans, kids of the "sturdy/linebacker variety" are suggested. Or, kids who don't mind being sent flying by 86 pounds of dog who is wrongly convinced that she's a svelte 25 pound Aussie.
*So far, she seems terrified of cats - so she seeks a home without any of those little predators. Or, at the very least, little predators who are super dog savvy and would make themselves very scarce in her presence.
Located in Nashville, TN but can travel wherever we do!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
