Chikis - Husky and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus

My friends at Wayside say:
-Volunteers say that I walk well on leash here at the shelter
-New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!

My home needs are:
-I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies.
-Wayside recommends bringing your children 9 years old and younger out to meet me before adoption since I can be nervous around new people and loud noises.

The husky breed is renowned for its striking appearance, characterized by piercing eyes and a thick double coat. These medium sized, energetic dogs are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them wonderful companions for active families. Originally bred for sledding and endurance in cold climates, huskies are intelligent and independent, often displaying a strong prey drive. Proper training and regular exercise are crucial to keep these playful and social animals happy and well adjusted.

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.
