Seeing as Carter was a repeat visitor to our featured adoptable column, I decided to blog about double the animals this week. It’s only fair, right?

Actually, make that triple the animals: meet Sugar and Sassy, a pair of miniature poodles (siblings, at that!). Rescued from a puppy mill, these older ladies spent most of their lives confined to small cages, kept perpetually pregnant, producing litter after litter of pups (”products”) for their “owners.” Now retired, these girls need a safe and loving home in which to live out their golden years - together, of course!

Currently staying in Wayside Waifs volunteer foster homes, they are both listed on Petango.com (here is Sugar, and Sassy). The listings are basically the same (though Sassy is a few years younger than her big sis); so instead of excerpting each description, I’ll just highlight Sugar’s:

Name: Sugar
Animal ID: 9445431
Breed: Poodle, Miniature
Age: 10 years
Gender: Female
Color: White / White
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Size: Small

Memo

Meet Sassy and Sugar! These adorable little girls were brought to Wayside from another shelter after they were sprung from a puppy mill. They spent their entire lives so far being mill mamas - in a cage, producing litter after litter of puppies to be sold in pet stores with little human contact or love.

Because of their horrendous conditions in their lives, they are not well socialized yet or housebroken. They will need someone with patience and time to gain their confidence, show them love and work on their potty training. With the right humans these gals will just blossom! After coming out of a mill, dogs will require a lot of work but usually are just normal dogs after a few months. They’re ready to go home (together!) and be spoiled and pampered - they deserve it!

Be sure to ask about our senior-to-senior discount if you’re 60 or over!

Sugar is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please contact Wayside Waifs to arrange a time to meet.

If you’d like to open your heart and home to these lovely ladies, please visit or call Wayside Waifs today!

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
