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

This pretty girl is Azalea. She a Terrier, American Staffordshire, Hound mixed breed dog at Wayside Waifs animal shelter in Kansas City, MO. Azalea is only 22 months old and quite a beauty. She found herself at Wayside Waifs after being picked up as a stray. She must have had some very hard times on the street, because when she first arrived at the shelter she was very afraid of people. She's come a long way in building her confidence and learning to trust again.
Here's Azalea's adoption message:
Hello there! My name is Azalea and I am a beautiful 1 and a half year old American Staffordshire Terrier/Hound. I came in to Wayside as a stray when animal control found me wandering the streets. It was hard not having a home to call my own at such a young age. I'm so thankful I ended up at Wayside. I have made so many good friends and for the first time in a long time, I finally feel safe. Everyone tells me this is the place where I will find my new family. I want to tell you a little about myself in the hopes that you might be the family for me!
When I first got to Wayside Waifs I was so scared. I didn't understand that people could be so kind and loving. The staff felt it was best for me to start working with a team of volunteers who work with shy and fearful dogs like me. I'm so glad I did, because I am like a different dog today! I wanted to so badly to be loved and for someone to notice what a good girl I was. I can't believe it, but they did! They worked with me slowly on how to trust again, and gave me an avenue where I could build up my confidence. One of my friends here started working with me on agility. I love learning how to do the course and she says I've gotten so good at it! She says that I complete everything in the agility course in the order I'm supposed to and how quickly I've picked up on things! It feels so good to hear such positive things about myself. It's a new feeling but a girl could definitely get used to it!
The staff thinks it is best if I go to a home with kids over 5 years old. Since it can still take me awhile to warm up, I think it's best for now. Even though I've come such a long way, it will be important to go slow with me when we first meet. Once I get to know you, I will show you my sweet and playful side! I love to cuddle and be close to you, it's how I show you the love I have for you. I really want to go home with someone who will help me get daily mental and physical stimulation. Going for walks and playing will help me to become a well-rounded dog! Since I'm still a young girl, I will most likely need work on housetraining and basic obedience. I want more than anything to make you happy so with positive reinforcement training and patience, I should learn quickly! What I need most is someone who will take a chance on me and show me how wonderful life really is. I've been through more in my short life than I care to admit, but it doesn't stop me from trying to live to the fullest!
If you are looking for a sweet and loyal companion, look no further! Come on out to Wayside Waifs and ask to meet Azalea. My bags are packed and I am ready to walk away from the shelter and into our new lives together, as a family.
All my love, Azalea
Check out Azalea's adoption video and you'll see she really has a talent for agility. Then give Wayside Waifs a call at 816-761-8151 Azalea's animal ID number is 22765512
