Wayside Waifs is committed to preparing pets and people for the bond of their lives. We do that in a multitude of ways, one of which is collaborating with and supporting the community. As a part of our commitment, we are conducting a community needs assessment to guide the development of our new Community Outreach Department.

We'd love for you to play a part in in our assessment by participating in our Pet Resource Survey. Your feedback will play a vital role in identifying the services and support that matter most to our community and their beloved pets. Together, we can create a more compassionate world for pets and people.

Check out this purrfect adoption update! ❤🐈

"Pete (Sam the snowman) is truly the best kitten. He's so playful and has such a fun personality. Our resident kitties have taken to him very well and have even had cleaning/snuggle sessions together! Pete sleeps all through the night cuddled up on me - I feel so lucky to have our new baby!

Thank you to all the Wayside staff that helped with this adoption. We couldn't be happier."

Does your dog bark, growl, lunge, or snap at other dogs while on leash? When dogs have big feelings like this, it can cause humans to have big feelings as well, making walking your dog an overwhelming and uncomfortable experience.

Check out Wayside Waifs' Reactive Dog class! We have open spots for class starting this Wednesday!

Come have some fun helping you and your dog learn to cope when they have big feelings over the next 6 weeks.

If that's not the class for you, check out all of the other classes we have to offer!

Check out all the fun of #shelterbowl! We are so excited to be participating in this pawsome event with Pennsylvania SPCA in Philadelphia! Tail wags to Boehringer Ingelheim and Greater Good Charities for their support - all of which will directly benefit shelter dogs like these star players! That means everyone's a winner this #ShelterBowl. 🐶 #AmplifyTheGood

Hi there! My name's Rodney, and I'm a two-year-old hound mix. You'll quickly see that I'm a pretty goofy and wiggly guy-if there's a tail wagging contest, I'm definitely winning! My walk? Oh, it's one of a kind. I'm more wiggle than I am dog! You can meet me today at Wayside! I’m ready for a forever home ❤️

Hi, I'm Kulina, and I love everything about life! I'm not only entertaining to my friends at Wayside Waifs, but I also find myself to be very entertaining - as long as stuffies are nearby, of course! Besides being really fun (and amazing), I am also really smart. I know commands "sit," "touch," and "look." Oh, and I'm housetrained! I've been told that I'm pretty great. Watch my video to learn more about me! You can meet me today until 7pm or this weekend 10am-5pm. Tail wags for your shares to help me find a forever home!
