Felicia - Rat Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Location-Wayside Waifs Campus

My Friends at Wayside say:
-I am from a puppy mill situation. I will likely need extra time to adjust to home life. I have lived with other dogs but have not socialized with people. Things like walking on a leash and going through doorways can be challenging for me. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding, but I need time to learn.
-During my time at Wayside, I have enjoyed co-existing with other dogs.
-New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!

My home needs are:
-A fenced yard is a must for me! I do not know how to walk on a leash, so I need a secure area to go out for potty breaks.
-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.
-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.
