Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Merriam, Kansas

Playtime is my favorite time of day. Hi, I'm Rita, I’m a vivacious (and simply gorgeous) young lady who considers playing my major passion in life (well that, and loving you with all my heart). If there’s room to run, a toy to chase, or zoomies to be had—I’m in. I’m a special gal with a big personality, and sometimes I forget just how much space I take up, so I’d do best in a home with older kids (over 5) who can stay on their feet when my excitement kicks in!

I've never met a stranger, I love car rides, trips to the park, trips to Starbucks for a pup cup, cuddling, more cuddling, and I love treats. I take them very gently, too. I can sometimes be a little selective about my doggie friends, so meeting any potential canine siblings ahead of time is important to me. But take a look at me with a buddy in my video. These playgroups they have here are So. Much. Fun!

I’ve got lots of energy and would love obedience classes to help me channel it—especially on walks. (Fun fact: we even have classes right here! ) Learning new things with my person sounds like the perfect way to bond.

If you’re an active family looking for a playful, joyful, all-around fabulous companion, I might just be your girl.
Come meet me today—I promise fun, laughter, and a lifetime of adventures!

Love from Rita

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.
