Rosa Lee - Bichon Frise and Mixed Breed 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 must go to a home that already has another dog so they can show me the ropes and build my confidence.
- A fenced yard is a must for me! I do not know how to walk on a leash, so I need a secure area to go out for potty breaks.
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.
- If you have kids in the home between 6 and 9 years old, I will need to meet them since I can be nervous around new people and loud noises.

The Bichon Frise is a small, cheerful, and affectionate dog breed known for its delightful demeanor and fluffy white coat. They are highly sociable, intelligent, and adaptable companions, making them ideal pets for families and singles alike. With their playful nature and desire to please, Bichon Frises excel in various activities such as agility and obedience trials.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
