Meet Rex and Fiona

YOUR GIVING TUESDAY GIFT MATCHED!

Rex and Fiona arrived in dire need of medical care.They were just two of the 150 dogs who came to Wayside Waifs after our Animal Rescue Team assisted in saving over 500 dogs from a puppy mill. In addition to medical care, they needed time to acclimate to new sights and sounds and to learn to trust humans.

At Wayside they received the care and training they needed and after a more than a year in our care, they were adopted by a great family. Donate now to help more animals like Rex and Fiona.
