Your Gift of Love Saves Them


Meet Gidget, a 7 1/2 year old minature pinscher who came to Wayside as a stray. Gidget arrived in quite a bit of pain with significant dental disease and a severe, untreated ear infection. Your support provided the surgery and antibiotics he needed to heal and be pain free. Donate now to help animals like Gidget receive the life-saving care they need and find loving homes.

Your generosity provides life-saving care and a safe haven for the most vulnerable animals like Gidget.
