Please welcome our Waifs of the Week: Rango, Milo, and Jerry!

“Hey there! ­­ My name is Rango and I would love to be your best friend. I’m a sweet three-year-old hound and I’m looking for a family to call my own. I came to Wayside after my last shelter ran out of space. It’s totally okay though, I know it won’t be long until I find my forever home. My friends here say I’m pretty smart. I love treats and will sit, lay down and shake if you ask me to. I bet that with some time and extra treats we can learn more commands together! I learn new skills very quickly. Right now I am learning how to take a treat gently and I loooooove treats, so we can practice as much as we need to. I am quiet and independent so if you have something else to do I will be content to hang out. However, when you are ready to play or take a walk I will be ready to go! I do pretty well on a leash and I’d love to go exploring with you! I’d do best in a home without small kiddos (they can make me nervous) and I’d like to meet any other dogs in your home to be sure we can be friends! If you’re looking for a sweet fella to go through life with, I might just be the dog for you. I’ll be waiting for you!”

“Hey there. My name is Milo. Aren’t I the cutest orange kitty?! I’m just about a year old and I came to Wayside after my last shelter ran out of space. Moving around is scary but I know this is my last stop before I find a family of my own. I dream of spending my days roaming around my own house and cuddling with my own people. My friends here call me a Sidekick. That means once I’m comfortable, I’ll be your best pal! I’ll help with anything around the house, especially preparing my dinner! I hear that I give incredible head butts and I have a very nice purr. I would likely do best in a quiet, stress-free home. An environment with a lot of commotion or people will probably scare me. I’m a simple guy and I’m looking for a family to match. Could I be the kitty for you? Come to Wayside and ask to meet me!”

“Howdy! My name is Jerry. I’m a five-year-old Lab Retriever mix looking for a family to call my own. I came to Wayside from another shelter. Starting over can be scary but I know this is my last stop before I find my forever home. I’m a sweet boy who likes attention. I would love to be able to run and play and go on adventures. I’ve done well as a running dog with some of Wayside’s volunteers. Maybe we can go explore the neighborhood together? I’m also pretty smart. I know “Come”, “Sit”, and “Stay”. I bet with some treats we can learn some more things together! I’m pretty serious about my food, so I’ll need a home where I’ve got a safe space to eat away from kiddos and other animals. I don’t want to accidentally hurt someone. Speaking of kiddos, I would do best in a home with children over the age of five. If you’re looking for a new best pal, I just might be the dog for you. I’ll be waiting for you at Wayside! Come on down and ask to meet me!”
