About Bristol

Bristol is a vibrant girl currently at Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center, eager to showcase the skills she’s learning. She’s enrolled in LIFT University, which helps her build confidence in new situations and manage her energy. Bristol is food motivated and loves to explore during sniffy walks, but she tends to get nervous around new people and loud noises, so a slow introduction is ideal. To ensure the best fit, Bristol needs to meet any resident dogs prior to adoption. She’s also looking for a home with kids aged six and up to help her feel secure and comfortable. For her safety, she’ll need a special anti-slip martingale collar, which you can find at the shelter. Don't miss the chance to meet this smart lady and learn more about her Slumber Pawty program, which allows potential adopters a trial stay at home with her. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
