Cattle Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Wayside Waifs Campus – I'd love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me!

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.
- New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!

My home needs are:
- New people and things make me a little nervous. Wayside recommends that I have a low traffic home.
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.

Hi, I'm Rain,

I have lost my way and no one came to claim me. I can't tell you about the first 6 years of my life, but I hope you can help make the last years more fun.

I am a shy girl who takes some time to warm up to people. I would do well in a home that is willing to be patient with me while I get comfortable. Once I warm up, I enjoys getting scratches on my chest and neck and curling up on a cozy bed.

Here at the shelter, I prefer to coexist with other dogs. I offered polite sniffs to new dogs but did not seem interested in interacting more than that. I would do best with other dogs that are willing to respect my space when I need it.

What do you think? Do you have space in your home and heart for a shy girl? I would love to meet you. Will you stop by and say hi? Make sure you ask for me when you get there. I am in the shelter but not the part you walk through.

Love, Rain

The Cattle Dog is a diligent and robust herding breed known for its agility, intelligence, and hardworking nature. Originating in Australia, Cattle Dogs are highly energetic and require ample exercise and mental stimulation. With their remarkable problem solving skills and unwavering loyalty, they excel in various canine activities and make excellent companions for active owners. Their distinctive blue or red coat, sturdy build, and alert expression reflect their heritage as versatile working dogs.

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.

Preparing pets and people for the bond of their lives.
