Cherry - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location:
Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – 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 am enrolled in LIFT University. This is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I'm a sweet, social girl who loves to snuggle once I release my energy!
- Chews, Kong-like feeders, puzzle toys—help to keep me entertained!
-I have displayed some touch sensitivities. Ask our staff for more info!
- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information.

My home needs are:
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life!
- No apartments or shared living spaces for me, please! I like to use my voice when I am excited!
-Wayside recommends that I have a fenced-in yard since I can be nervous on walks and need an energy release.
-Wayside recommends you bring your dog to meet me before adoption to ensure we can be buddies.
- 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.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

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.
