Lollypop is one of 90 dogs rescued from a breeder in Camden County, MO and brought to Wayside Waifs. She is now looking for her forever loving home. Most of us would do anything it took to ensure the health and safety of our beloved pets. They are our best friends...

I just cried while watching that video. I don't understand how people could treat dogs like that.

In late 2003, Wayside was thrilled to open the new Wayside Waifs Bark Park, given and dedicated by the Harold and Marilyn Melcher family. And what a great park it is for an off-leash romp with your canine friends!

I've only been to Wayside Waifs once and it was a heartbreaking experience, but it was the best for the feral kittens I handed over. We couldn't take in anymore rescues and we feared for the kitten's lives. I decided one day to take them to Wayside and I can tell you I cried all the way back to KCK. I still think about... the kittens every so often, wondering what happened to them. One was named Snake because he always hissed at me, I forget the other's name. No matter how much they may have hissed, they loved the attention and knew that they were loved.Read More

I get your emails and we contribute each year. We adopted 2 adult Siamese cats in 1992 and both of these loves have now crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We have 3 feline kids now, all rescued, 2 Siamese and 1 ragdoll. So precious. I fell in love with a sheltie mix older dog on your site a few weeks ago and wanted to see... him. But my husband and the cats said no way - I'll keep working on them. But this fella, named Buddy, is not on the available list this week. Did he get a good home? Can someone report on him?Read More
