Adopt her royal sweetness and a goofy pup at this KC area shelter

Each week, Wayside Waifs spotlights a couple of pets available for adoption at its South Kansas City shelter.

Wayside Waifs welcomes Kansas City area visitors without an appointment. To learn about the adoption process and available animals, go here.

Hope Anne, a 1-year-old Labrador retriever

Meet Hope Anne — a bouncy, lovable black Lab mix with a heart full of joy and a tail that just won’t quit.

She’s learning all sorts of awesome things like basic commands and how to walk nicely on a leash. Hope Anne is a smart girl who’s eager to learn, especially if treats and praise are involved. She absolutely loves people and wants to be with them as much as possible; she would make a great adventure buddy for an active family.

One of her absolute must-haves is another playful dog friend in the home. She’s got energy to burn and having a four-legged buddy helps her release it in all the right ways. She will need to meet any resident dogs beforehand to make sure they are a good fit, and she also needs to meet the whole human family too, just to be sure everyone is comfortable and happy.

Hope Anne is goofy, affectionate, full of zest, and has so much love to give. Her adoption fee is $130. Meet her today at Wayside Waifs.

Princess, a 7-year-old domestic longhair

Meet her royal-ness, Princess, and yes, she totally lives up to her title. With luxurious long blue-gray fur, floofy tail, and sweet, soulful eyes, she’s basically a living, purring cloud of cuteness.

She is soft, snuggly, and just the right amount of sassy. She adores her royal subjects, oops — we mean people — and is happiest when she’s getting lots of attention. If you’re sitting down, chances are she’ll hold court right there, ready for cuddles.

Princess is super affectionate and loves being near her people, she might even follow you from room to room just to keep you company.

Princess is looking for a quiet, peaceful home with patient people who will give her the time she needs to settle in and feel safe. Once she does, she will reward you with all the love, cuddles, and fluff you can handle.

Her adoption fee is $25.
