About Pup

Pup is a sweet, medium-sized female mixed-breed dog currently at the Wayside Waifs Animal Shelter in Kansas City, MO. She's a bit shy, so a slow and steady approach is best for her. Her previous owner mentioned that she's house-trained and knows some commands, which makes her a great candidate for a loving home. Pup walks well on a leash, making her a joy to take on walks. She has specific needs for her new home. If children are present, they should be 9 years old or older, as she is touch-sensitive and would prefer a gentle interaction. Small mammals catch her eye, so a home without those would be ideal. Additionally, she must meet any resident dogs before adoption to ensure compatibility. Pup is ready to find her forever family.
