Wheatley - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus

My friends at Wayside say:
-I am a graduate in LIFT University, and enrolled in Waifs with Wisdom. LIFT University is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. Waifs with Wisdom is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.
- I have a lot of energy and need an active adopter!
- I was house trained in my previous home.
- I’m smart and food/treat motivated. I already know sit and shake!
- Balls, squeaky toys, rope toys, I love them all!
- During my time at Wayside, I enjoy being around other dogs.
- 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:
- Wayside requires bringing the whole family out to meet me before adoption - new people can make me a little nervous.
- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life!
- I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies!

Hi there, I’m Wheatley!

I’m a 3-year-old mixed breed boy with a pretty unique look. One of my eyes is icy blue and the other is a deep brown. Yep, I’ve got that "two different worlds" kind of stare, and I’ve been told it’s pretty unforgettable!

I’m not just a handsome face, though... I’ve got the brains and manners to match! I’m already housetrained and crate trained, so I know the routine and like having a cozy space of my own. I also know commands like "sit" and "shake," and since I’m super treat motivated, I’d love to keep learning more with you. Training time + snacks = my kind of fun!

I’m an active guy who really enjoys getting out and exploring. Whether it’s going for a hike, playing outside, or just staying busy with ALL the toys (seriously, I love them all), I’m happiest when I have something to do. I can even entertain myself when needed, but I also love being near my people and hanging out together. Call me Hannah Montana because I’m the Best of Both Worlds!

I’ll need to meet any dog friends before going home, and if there are cats, I’ll do best with a slow and thoughtful introduction. With the right setup, I’m ready to be a great companion. I’d thrive in an active home that can keep up with my energy, curiosity, and love for adventure. If you’re looking for a smart, fun-loving, and strikingly handsome best friend to explore life with, I just might be your guy.

Love, Wheatley

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.
