However, they are tasty! The dogs love them.

| Jeffie gives Zuke's a serious taste test while Rudy studies his technique. |
I like that they're made in the USA without loads of chemicals. Zuke'
s has been in business since 1995 and has never had a recall. The small size would be perfect for puppy training and for small dogs. Yes, they're even good for training treats for my big dogs. Though they did chew these little treats, as opposed to swallowing them whole, Jeffie, Rudy and Rosie were not satisfied with just one.
As always we want to give a woof to Chewy. We love their huge selection of dog food, treats, toys and supplies and shop there frequently. Their customer service is excellent and shipping is super fast.
*We received one package of Zuke's Mini Naturals dog treats from Chewy.com in exchange for our honest review of the product and service.

Adopt Jackson a #Beagle #Hound #Dog @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO
Meet Jackson. He's a 6 year old hound / Beagle mixed breed dog currently available for adoption from Wayside Waifs animal shelter in Kansas City, MO.
According to shelter staff and volunteers, Jackson is a goofy, silly, loving boy. He loves to play fetch and go for walks. Currently he's learning some agility and seems to be a natural. Jackson is already housebroken, and knows a wide range of commands.
Here's Jackson's adoption message:
Hello there! I'm adorable Jackson here, just looking for a brand new home to call my own. It's been sort of a rough ride for me, but I refuse to let that get me down. I am a sweet, smart, playful, and fun dog with a delightful personality to match. I can't let the fact that I'm homeless once again make me lose faith that my forever family is out there. Perhaps you are looking for me right now! Well, I'm at Wayside, waiting for you. If you have the time and patience and dedication to work with me and help me be the best dog I can be, I will be the most wonderful companion ever.
I am an almost 6 year old, perfect medium size, already housetrained, Hound/Beagle mix. I'm in the prime of my life. And I am such a special boy, with gentle eyes and the softest hound ears you've ever seen. I originally came to Wayside a few years ago, as a transfer from the shelter in Springfield, MO. I got adopted, but things didn't end up working out for me there. I can't remember what exactly happened, but my owner gave me away to her neighbor and somehow I ended up as a stray, picked up by Kansas City Animal Control. Lucky for me, the people at Wayside welcomed me back with open arms. That was 2 years ago, but I still remember it like it was yesterday, because life as a stray was lonely and sad. Eventually, I found another new home and I'd been with my most recent family for the past 2 years, before getting returned to Wayside yet again. So now I wait and hope my true forever family finds me. Maybe today will be my day. I hope so.
I'm such a lover! I'm affectionate and friendly, goofy and silly. I love to play fetch and play with my toys and go for walks and explore the world. I've even been having some fun at the agility park here at Wayside and they tell me I'm a natural. I walk very well on my leash, but I do have a hound nose, so I like to stop and smell all the great things along the way. In my new home, I'm hoping for a fenced in yard, to keep me safe and secure. And I don't really think I'd be a good apartment dog, because sometimes I'm vocal. I have so much I want to tell you, so I hope my hound voice makes you smile. I'm a smart guy and I know all sorts of commands that I can't wait to show you. The Wayside staff has been using a training method for me called Nothing In Life Is Free and I respond very well to it, so I hope to continue my training in my new home. It teaches me, in a positive way, that you are in charge and that I have to earn what I want in life. So I will sit or shake or wait patiently for a treat, for example. Your adoption counselor can give you more information on this. I'm the perfect dog to train, because not only am I smart, but I love to learn, I'm treat motivated, I love it when you praise me, and I have a soft and gentle mouth when taking treats from you.
One of the things my last family noticed about me was that I was extra protective of my stuff. And I can be very serious with my food. The staff here at Wayside has been working with me to modify my behavior and it's working! I'm learning that food is something I will always have enough of. In my new home, I will need a safe place to eat where I don't feel threatened, and please remove my bowl when I am finished eating. I'll be happiest in a home without kids under 15 and as your only dog. I have sort of a big 'bubble' around me and I don't really like it when kids or other dogs try to get in. I'm wonderful with adults though! I'm fun, happy, affectionate, and loyal as can be
I hope you're looking for a happy-go-lucky sort of dog like me to spend your life with. With a little time and dedication and training and exercise and love, I know I can be the most fantastic companion you've ever known. I know I ask for a lot, but I give a lot in return. You'll see what I mean if you just take a chance on me and come out to Wayside to meet me. I'm sort of lonely here and I need a family to call my own. I need people to love and care for who will do the same for me. I need to run and play and go for walks and watch TV with you. I need to belong. I promise to be a loyal and friendly companion and I promise to make you smile every single day. That will be my job. Life will be good. I can't wait!
Love, Jackson

Adopt Roberta a #Pitbull Mix @WaysideWaifs in #KCMO
Meet Roberta! Can you resist this sweet face and wild ears? Roberta is a Pit Bull Terrier mix who's almost 5 years old. At 44 pounds she's a medium size dog who is looking for someone to love her. Before coming to Wayside Waifs animal shelter, Roberta had a really rough life.
Here's her story:
I'm searching for a new home and family to call my very own. I'm tired of being alone. Tired of living on the streets and fending for myself and not having a person to love and care for that will do the same for me. I have so much to offer, I really do! It's just that no one has ever given me the chance to show what a fun and affectionate dog I can be. I hope you're that person who meets me and realizes that you need me in your life.
I am a beautiful, 4 ½ year old, 44 pound, Pit Bull Terrier mix. I have gorgeous fur and an expressive face. I want so much for you to love me. I came to Wayside as a sad and lonely stray. I was wearing a collar, but it was so tight on me that the Wayside vet had to cut it off of me. It was painful and humiliating. I also had a cough, itchy skin, and several fractured teeth. I've spent the past month or so here at Wayside, recuperating and getting my strength back. I'm a survivor though and I feel so much better now. Better than I've ever felt before! I was spayed and I had surgery on my mouth to remove my broken teeth. My cold is all better, my skin is looking good. Things are looking up for me! A happy future with you is just around the corner, I can feel it, and I can't wait!
I'm fun, playful, and entertaining. I just found out about these little pieces of heaven called toys and I can't get enough of them! I had no idea what I was missing. And I love my treats, too. I can't wait to start obedience training, because I think I'll be the star student. I'm smart, treat motivated, and eager to make you happy...a perfect combination when training a dog. One of the things I want to learn about is how to play more gently. I love to play, but sometimes I get so excited that I get jumpy and my play gets rough. I don't mean any harm, but it's hard to contain my excitement. Having a person to play with is the best thing ever! I'm an energetic and active gal, but that's not all there is to me. I will soak up any attention you'll give me and I'll make a fantastic cuddle partner for you. I hope you're the type of person who likes to include your dog in your life, because I will make such a terrific companion.
Since my play does get rough when I'm excited, I think I'll be happiest in a home without kids under the age of 5. We might be too much for each other! And I'd like a home without any other dogs. During testing at Wayside, I was rude and bossy. Staff recommends that I be your only dog and that you don't try to take me to any dog parks or doggie daycare, at least for now. I hope you understand. I'll be happy to give you so much love that you won't miss not having another dog in your life, I promise!
I just want to be loved and wanted. I want to belong. I want to be your dog and feel a lifelong bond with you. I will be devoted and loyal to you for the rest of my life. I'll never let you down. Please be the person who finally gives me the chance in life. Please let me show you what a fun and loving dog I am.
Love, Roberta
