How do you like your potatoes? Baked? Scalloped? Couch? If you answered couch potato, Mississippi is the dog for you! After spending time in foster, we're happy to support Mississippi isn't much for long walks or sprints around the yard. She's much more happy to bake in the sun and nap quietly by your side.

Mississippi has learned the art of sleeping in her crate, getting her steps in and enjoying the company of people big and small and all the ages. She's never met a human she doesn't like and her wiggles will grab your heart and swoon!

Mississippi is under the care of APA!'s clinic to lose a little weight and get some lumps and bumps checked out. She'd love a home to help her through this journey with the support of our medical staff! Come by and meet her in person today!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
