Pantera

4 years / 5 months old
Chinese Shar-Pei / Retriever, Labrador
Hello! I'm Pantera, a lovely and dear dog who needs a special home with patient and loving people who want to truly make a difference in this world. Do you think that might be you? I am a 4 year old, 66 pound, Shar-Pei/Labrador mix who was recently surrendered to Wayside Waifs by my owner. I didn't do anything wrong, it is just that my family's living situation changed, and I could no longer stay with them.
I was described by them as energetic, playful, friendly, affectionate and even a lap dog! Yep, have you been wanting a 66 pound lap dog? I know how to 'sit' and 'come' on command, and I also enjoy playing with toys and I love the game of fetch.
You'll notice that I am currently marked as 'partially housetrained' on my bio summary. Well, that's because I've been working very hard at holding it in my kennel. I do go to the bathroom as soon as I get outside.
Since I am learning, I need patience and positive reinforcement. The Wayside staff will be happy to offer you suggestions to help me get fully housetrained in the quickest and most effective way.

If you have another dog at home that needs a friend, staff wants to be sure that you bring him or her in to meet me. Of course I would be happy to be your only dog. That would be wonderful and I promise to give you so much love that I will be enough.
I'd also like a home without kids under the age of 5. Toddlers might be too much for me, as I'm learning to get acclimated into my new life as a family dog.

Yes, I will need some extra patience and guidance at first, but with the right family and the right amount of love and devotion, I promise to try really hard to be the best girl in the world for you.

Love,

Pantera
