About Missy (Chihuahua) in Minneapolis, MN 55416

Missy is waiting for you at Underdog Rescue MN in Minneapolis, MN 55416. Missy may be small, but the love she has to give is anything but. This darling Chihuahua has the sweetest soul and approaches life with a gentle, trusting nature. She’s the kind of dog who is simply happy to be by your side, whether she’s curled up in her cozy bed or snuggled beside you under the blankets. Missy absolutely adores people and has never met a treat she didn’t appreciate! She’s food-motivated, enjoys mealtime, and is always happy to earn a tasty reward—though treats should be given in moderation because this little lady likes to keep her girlish figure. She gets along beautifully with other dog-friendly small dogs and truly enjoys having canine companions around.

She’s doing well with her potty training and thrives on a consistent schedule. She doesn’t require a fenced yard or a kennel, making her an easy addition to many different types of homes. Missy would be happiest in a home with older, respectful children or adults only.

We believe she’s simply frightened by the unpredictability of little kids and will thrive in a home where her boundaries are understood and respected. Toys aren’t really her thing—people are. Missy’s favorite pastime is simply being loved and loving you right back. She’ll happily shower you with kisses, soak up every bit of affection you have to offer, and remind you every day just how special the bond between a dog and
