Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me! This dog is from a puppy mill situation. They will likely need time to adjust to home life. They have lived with many other dogs but have not experienced socialization with people and things like walking on a leash and doorways are challenging for many of them. Dogs from puppy mills can be difficult to housetrain, and adopters should be willing to be patient during this process. Crate training can be very helpful and also give the dog a safe place to call their own. It is also important to let them go at their own pace with building a relationship with their new family and limiting lots of commotion and visitors in the beginning is wise. They have not experienced life outside of the puppy mill, so things could be overwhelming for them at first. Patience and positive interactions are crucial. Aversive methods of training should be avoided. Puppy mill dogs are almost always treat motivated, so using that to build trust and teach new things is the way to go! Adopting a puppy mill dog can be extremely rewarding and the extra time needed to allow them to learn about life and love will be paid back in time!My Friends at Wayside say: - I’m smart and food/treat motivated.- New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow! - I am enrolled in Confidence College. This is a program for dogs to build confidence and learn that the world is not so scary. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. - I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. 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.- I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. - I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.- I must go home in an airline carrier of appropriate size. Please bring one with you or we do sell them in our retail store Whiskers and Wags.- 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.

Story

Thor is a cute little maltese puppy, born 3/30/26. He has puppy papers to be registered with ACA (American Canine Association) registry. He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a potential stud dog. Instead he was purchased into rescue so he can spend his life as a cherished family member rather than in a breeder's pen. He is a happy, playful, friendly puppy who gets along well with other pups. He is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations and wormings. Because he is too young to neuter, he will be placed with a neuter contract. When proof of surgery has been received, adopter will be mailed a rebate check for $50.00 His adoption fee is $450.00 If you would like to adopt Thor, email me at thistle88@centurytel.net and request an application.August 8, 2026, 2:52 pm

Name: Albus House: Gryffindor (he’s brave, though he prefers his courage to be fueled by snuggles) Age: 2 years young Weight: A mere 6 lbs (the perfect size for a familiar) Are you looking for a magical companion to join you on your adventures—or, more accurately, to join you on your sofa for a marathon of The Prisoner of Azkaban? Meet Albus! Albus is a 2-year-old Maltese mix who has clearly mastered the Accio Cuddle charm. He is a professional-level snuggler who believes personal space is a myth and that he should be within a 2-inch radius of his favorite human at all times. While he is a social butterfly with other cats and dogs of all sizes, Albus is a bit of a shy wizard when he first meets new people. He’s looking for a patient human who understands that he needs a little time to come out of his shell—think of it like waiting for a mandrake to mature. Once he trusts you, his loyalty is unbreakable. His Magical Talents: * Crate Proficiency: He treats his crate like his own personal dormitory. * Levitation Training: He is currently working on his leash skills, but let’s be honest: he’s much more interested in the Wingardium Leviosa approach (aka being carried everywhere like the tiny prince he is). What’s included in his $400 Adoption Fee: He comes fully prepared for his journey into your home with his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test, and microchip already taken care of. He’s also up to date on all his flea, tick, and heartworm prevention—he’s got better protection than a Patronus charm! Are you ready to be the chosen one for this little guy? Apply to meet Albus today!

Meet Pearl 🤍 (aka the crusty queen with opinions 💅) Pearl is 3.5 years old, 6lbs, and came to us back in September with 12 other dogs. She’s officially retired from her past life as a “milk dog” mama — done raising babies and finally ready to live life on her terms now. And trust us… she has terms 😂 This girl has come SUCH a long way with socialization, but she’s still very much an independent lady. If you’re looking for a cuddle bug… Pearl said “respectfully, no.” BUT if you’re looking for a bestie who will absolutely smother you in kisses and demand head scratches and has the cutest little wiggle?? She’s your girl 💕 Her favorite hobbies include: 🎾 Throwing her toys for herself (yes, really) 🛋️ Perching on the back of the couch like a tiny gargoyle 💋 Handing out unsolicited kisses 🕺Wiggling when she hears someone say “Pearly girly” Pearl is crate trained and potty trained, though she may need a little refresher in a new home. She thrives on routine — once she learns it, she sticks to it like a pro. ✨ Requirements for Miss Pearl ✨ 🏡 Must own your home 🌳 Fenced-in yard required 🐶 Prefer to be the only dog OR have a very submissive dog sibling (she’s got a little attitude and not everyone appreciates her spice 🌶️) 💋 Must love kisses 🚫 No cuddling expectations She’s still not a fan of being reached for and may need to be leashed or gently led outside, but with patience and consistency, she does great. She has never showed any aggression to people, she just doesn’t fully grasp she’s safe right away. Pearl isn’t for everyone — but for the right person, she’s hilarious, quirky, and so full of personality. If you love a dog with boundaries and a whole lot of sass, Pearl is waiting for you 🤍 Apply here to meet Miss Pearly: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LKR/Dog
