Adopt Ava a #Pitbull #AustralianShepherd Mix Dog @WaysideWaifs in Kansas City

Lovely Ava is a 3 year old Australian Shepherd Pitbull mixed breed dog.  Just look at Ava's beautiful eyes:  one blue and brown eye - one brown eye! 

Ava was picked up as a stray in Grandview, Missouri and is now at Wayside Waifs animal shelter in Kansas City, Missouri.  It was a hard life on the streets as a homeless stray and Ava had the cuts and scars on her legs to prove it.

Ava is a shy gentle soul and here's her adoption letter:

Hello there, my name is Ava! I'm so glad you are reading about me, I am ready to find my forever home and I know I am in the right place here at Wayside to do that. I want to tell you all about myself in hopes that you are the right person for me!

I am a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, Pit bull mix. I am told I have the most beautiful and unique eye coloring; I have one blue and brown eye and my other eye is brown. I am a gentle soul, and I can be a little shy and slow to warm up to you. Once I do you will see how sweet and loving I can be.

I came to Wayside when I was picked up as a stray in Grandview, MO. I am still a little confused and scared because I don't remember how I ended up getting lost and being homeless, but I do remember how lonely I felt! I was tired, not feeling good, and I didn't know whom to trust. I'm so lucky that I ended up at Wayside and got the help I needed so much! When I first got here, I was really sad and scared. I had some small cuts and scars on my back legs and tested positive for heartworms. I am on medicine now and my small cuts are starting to heal too! I don't like to think about those scary times now, because I am ready to put them behind me.

I am looking forward to a home with a patient family, warm bed and lots of belly rubs. I'll just need a little time to get used to my surroundings once I go home with my new family. I know they'll be patient while I get settled in and warm up. I'll need a home without kids under 5 years old. I hope someday I'll be fine around small children, but for now, I think this is best. Since I am still unsure of strangers, small children might startle me. I am working on trust so I hope in the future I can be around all kids. Please bring all dogs and human family members out to meet me; just to be sure everyone gets along before we go home together.

I promise I will be the best snuggling buddy ever! Once I warm up in the home, I would love to continue training just nice and slow because I am one laid back girl. I tend to pull a little on my leash just because am I so excited to walk around with my human friends. I might need a refresher course on house training, but I know we can work on it together.

Do you think we might be meant for each other? If you think so, please don't wait another day to come out to Wayside to meet me!!! I have your hug waiting for you!

Love,  Ava

Australian Shepherd Missouri Dog Breeder Closes Up Shop

An Australian Shepherd commercial dog breeding facility in Missouri is no longer in business. 

Deciding to close, the owners of this dog breeder in rural Taney County, Missouri, voluntarily surrendered their dogs to the Humane Society of Missouri (HSMO).

Yesterday the HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force, working with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, rescued 41 juvenile and adult dogs.  The canines were taken to HSMO headquarters in St Louis where they are being examined, treated, spayed/neutered by veterinarians on staff there.

HSMO is encouraging Australian Shepherd dog rescue groups to assist in placing any of these dogs and are asked to call 314-802-5712.

In addition, these dogs will be made available for adoption by the public, though Debbie Hill, HSMO Vice President of Operations notes:

"Potential adopters also need to be aware that these dogs have never lived as house pets and many of them will need special care, socialization and training."

Anyone interested in adopting one of these Australian Shepherd dogs should keep any eye on the HSMO website to learn when they'll be ready for move on to a forever home.

Adopt Redford an Australian Shepherd Dog at Wayside Waifs

Redford ©Wayside Waifs

 This beautiful boy is Redford.  He's a 4 year old Australian Shepherd mixed breed dog.  Aside from his stunning good looks, animal shelter staff and volunteers report Redford is an awesome dog!

Redford is a cuddler and loves to go for walks.  He's good on a leash and checks in with the human.  In his previous home, he lived on a farm and loved it.  He enjoys the dog part and sometimes likes to herd those other dogs.  Because of his breed and high intellect, Redford would probably be happiest with a job to keep him busy. 

Redford ©Wayside Waifs

Redford is up to date on his shots, medications, flea control and he has a microchip.  In other words, he has his bags packed and ready for his new forever home!

Have a look at Redfords adoption video and then give Wayside Waifs Animal Shelter a call at 816-761-8151.  Redford's animal ID number is 18674130
