Millie - Lhasa Apso and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location:
Wayside Waifs Campus

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I prefer to coexist with other dogs.
- I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.
- My previous owner said I am crate trained and house trained.


My home needs are:
- If you have kids in the home 9 years old and younger, I will need to meet them since I can be nervous around new people and loud noises.
- It's recommended I go home to a quiet home environment.

Hi, I'm Millie,

I ended up here when my owner could no longer care for me. I can be shy at first but once I know you, I turn into a cuddle bug. I love to crawl into my peoples' laps and soak up all of the love. I would do best in a patient home that can help build my confidence. I am not very big. I weigh about 12 pounds.

In my previous home, I lived with a cat but I liked to let the cat know this is my territory. I am house broken and crate trained. I enjoy going for walks outside. I love toys as well. I don't seem to know any commands. But I love treats, so I'm sure I could learn.

I had never met another dog until arriving at the shelter. I prefer to coexist with other dogs. I don't have any interest in interacting with the dogs but am okay sharing the play yard with them. I would do best with dogs that prefer to coexist and are willing to give me space.

What do you think? Do you have room for a shy girl like myself? I would love to meet you. Will you stop by soon?

Love, Millie

The Lhasa Apso is a small and fearless dog breed originating from Tibet, known for its long and flowing double coat that requires regular grooming. These alert and loyal companions possess a distinctive demeanor and make excellent watchdogs. They are independent yet affectionate, enjoying their human family's company while also being wary of strangers. With a history rooted in Buddhist monasteries, the Lhasa Apso is a sturdy and ancient breed cherished for its adaptability and unique personality.

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.
