I drove all the way from another state just to come to this place, before I went there I talked to the staff they told me twice that they indeed have small breed dogs. When I went to the building the staff at the front desk ignored me at first then had a horrible attitude and refuse to speak to me so I talked to other staff I kept getting ignored, one nice lady showed me to were the dogs were but non of them were small breeds, I was basically lied to, they said they had small breed dogs when they didn't, but one lady said " sorry we don't have small breed dogs we do have one but he's crazy" the staff there were very rude there was only one nice lady there, so I went home.

After our precious baby passed away, we chose to use Wayside Waif's to cremate her remains. I have been volunteering with Wayside for a few years now, but have never had the chance to personally work with memorial services. I had an exceptional experience!!!!! Very well priced compared to other places, all proceeds go back to the shelter, and the customer service is excellent. We will receive stamped paw prints and got a keepsake from them as well. Could go on and on, but overall, HIGHLY recommend using their services.

I HIGHLY recommend Wayside Waifs. We've adopted two wonderful dogs from Wayside Waifs. Everyone there is super friendly and knowledgeable. They really care about the animals and it shows. #adoptdon'tshop

How to surrender an animal

doris holloway | Sep 4, 2019
Laura Palmer | Sep 4, 2019

The above answer is incorrect. The process starts online, where you will fill out a pet surrender form and submit. Within 48 hours of submission the Admissions office should give you a call to schedule the appointment. At the appointment your pet will go through assessments (health and behavioral) to see whether whether Wayside can take them into the shelter.

Wayside waifs had an adoption fee but I would say the fee is well worth it since you wouldn't need to worry about first time vaccinations, which you would have to go get with a "free" puppy and sometimes they can take you by surprise in price

David Smith | Sep 4, 2019
Laura Palmer | Sep 4, 2019

The first step is to contact your city’s animal control. This way they can get it to the nearest shelter so it can be claimed by its family (if there is one). Wayside can only take strays that are in their jurisdiction and only from an animal control officer.

atvdude18 xbox360 | Sep 4, 2017
Nicole Johnson | Sep 4, 2018

If you are planning on volunteering you need to be 16 and up. If you are between the ages of 13-15, you will have to have an adult volunteer with you. If you just want to visit and pet the dogs, you will have to talk to the volunteers there. You cannot go directly into the kennels or rooms without volunteer assistance. I am not sure if you have to be 18 and older.
