Story
Meet Wish! Wish is a beautiful little mini Australian Shepherd who weighs 28lbs. She likes to be close to her person and she loves taking a nap on your lap. She sleeps all night in a kennel without a peep. She rides well in a car. At this point she doesn't understand the concept of a leash so we are working on that. Very sweet girl that is ready for a home of her own! Basics: She is a spayed female guessed to be around 2 yrs old and she weighs close to 28lbs. She is currently in a foster home in North Kansas City, MO Adoption Process: - Please fill out our adoption application: https://www.dayofthedogs.org/adoption-application - One of our team members will get back to you via phone. - Our dogs can be seen by appointment only. We do not have a facility at this time. Dogs are in foster homes or boarding - Adoption fee is $480. It helps to cover transport costs, spay/neuter, initial vaccines, rabies, fecal, initial worming, and microchip. -We do not place holds on our dogs. Please do not contact us until you are prepared to adopt. NOTE: We are very good about updating the pet's profiles once adopted. So no need to write us to ask "Is he/she still available?" If the post is up, the dog is still available. About Us: Day of the Dogs is a 501c3 nonprofit. Since 2015 we have been dedicated to helping shelters increase live release. We coordinate 2 - 4 transports per month from TX, OK and AR to NW Indiana/Chicagoland and the Kansas City area. We do direct adoptions ourselves out of Kansas City and NW Indiana areas. We also partner with other rescues and shelters in IN, IL, KS and MO that are willing to help southern pets in need. We rely on donations to help fund our ongoing transports. Please donate if you can. Every dollar adds up and we are grateful for any help we can get: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/DayoftheDogs

Story
Josie was adopted over a year ago at Wayside Waifs, she is a 2 year old Australian shepherd mix (possibly blue heeler). She is a very sweet girl who’s really affectionate/ outgoing and loves people. She loves to burn off energy by going on walks and doing enrichment activities, unfortunately we are not able to home as much to give her all the attention and care she needs and are looking to find her a loving home and that can give her the best life possible!

Story
Pet Location: 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! My Friends at Wayside say: - I am enrolled in LIFT University and Waifs with Wisdom. LIFT University is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. Waifs with Wisdom is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session.- During my time at Wayside, I have enjoyed being around other dogs. - New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow!- Once I warm up, I have a lot of energy and need an active adopter!- 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:- I must go to a home that already has another dog so they can show me the ropes. - I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to make sure they can “show me the ropes.” Wayside requires bringing your dog to meet me prior to adoption. - I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises. - A fenced yard is a must for me! I need a secure area to go out for potty breaks. - It`s recommended I go home to an active home.- It`s recommended I go home to a quiet home environment.- 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
Please read bio before applying! Meet Merlin. This young man has had a rough go of it at just 1 year old. Merlin came to us as a commercial breeder release and when we got him at 6 months old, he had never been handled by humans. As a result, he is very distrusting of humans and requires a lot of patience and time to adjust to new people. Merlin is very dog friendly and because he is more comfortable with dogs than humans, we are requiring that he go to a home with at least one other canine. This will help set him up for success. He will also need a home with a secure fenced in yard, as he can be a bit of a flight risk, and he will need a home with no small children. Merlin has the potential to be an amazing companion, he just needs someone who will give him the time he needs to adjust
