Poptart - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location:
Wayside Waifs Campus

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am from a puppy mill/hoarding situation. I will likely need extra time to adjust to home life. I have lived with other dogs but have not socialized with people. Things like walking on a leash and going through doorways can be challenging for me. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding, but I need time to learn.
- I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.
- I have displayed some touch sensitivities. Ask our staff for more info!

My home needs are:
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life!
- New people and things make me a little nervous. Wayside recommends that I have a low traffic home.
- For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.
