Standard Poodle and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Pet Location:
Wayside Waifs Campus

My Friends at Wayside say:
- I am from a puppy mill/hoarding 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.
- I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.
- I like to stick close to people for comfort and security.

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
- 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 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.

The Standard Poodle, known for its intelligence, elegance, and hypoallergenic coat, is a versatile and athletic breed that excels in various canine activities. With a proud demeanor and an affectionate nature, Standard Poodles make excellent family companions and therapy dogs. Their hypoallergenic coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting and keep them looking their best. This breed thrives on mental stimulation and physical exercise, making them excellent partners for active individuals or families.
