Please welcome the Waifs of the Week: Phish, Rosemary, and Zaiden!
“Hi there, I’m Phish! I’m happy, playful and I like to stay busy. I was so happy at first that I hurt my tail by wagging it so hard (they call that happy tail). I just got that all fixed up though. I am learning my manners and new commands here at the shelter so I know I will be able to show you what I have learned. I’m always ready for a lot of physical and mental stimulation! I’m looking for a forever family who wants to play and hang out with me. I hope that’s you! I’m a handsome, 1 year old, 40 pound energetic dog with shiny gray and white fur. I’m already crate trained too. I came to Wayside as a stray, after I was found by a nice person that works here. I was VERY skinny when I was found but I am putting weight on now and feeling so much better. I still feel nervous sometimes when I meet new people,and can also be a little jumpy..I’m just excited to start my new journey. I’m young and active, so I will need daily exercise in my new home. I love to go walking and I’ve been practicing my leash skills. Sometimes I still feel a little anxious when getting leashed up, but with practice, I’ve become more comfortable each day. A harness also works great for me during walks. Since I can be jumpy at first, I will need a home without kids under the age of at least 10. Why don’t you bring the whole family, canines included, to meet me and we can make sure we’re all a good match for each other. I can’t wait to meet you!”

“Thanks for reading about me! My name is Rosemary, and I’m a beautiful, dainty tortoisehell girl with lots of lovely black and gold swirling through my soft fur. It really brings out my beautiful golden eyes, or so I have heard. I came to Wayside from another shelter that was low on space. I was a young mother and did a terrific job raising my two wonderful kittens in a foster home. My babies have found their forever families. Now, it’s my turn to be somebody’s baby! My former foster mom says I have a cute personality and love to play, especially with pingpong balls. She said I am talkative and very tidy. So if you are looking for a good conversation buddy who is not messy, I just might be your girl. Here at Wayside, I’ve become known as a pretty, friendly girl with a nice purr who gives great headbutts. The Felineality assessors here say I am a Private Investigator. That means I tend to be timid in new situations, and I like to get to know people and feel comfortable with them instead of jumping in with all four paws. But hey, a little caution never hurt anyone, right? I’m hoping for a gentle, patient adopter who will give me time to warm up to my new home and family. Also, I need a home with no other cats and no kids under the age of 10. I promise to be the only feline you need. If you could use a little spice in your life, please hurry to Wayside and ask for me, Rosemary!”

“Thanks so much for reading about me! My name is Zaiden and I’m a four-year-old fella looking for my forever home. I’ve moved around a bit and I know that this is my last stop before I find people to share my love with. Let’s get to the important stuff. I’m a confident and interesting guy. I’d do best in a home without cats. I don’t care much for them. I also request that I meet any canines before going home. I want to make sure we all get along. In exchange for these requests, I promise I’ll be your best pal. I’ll always be there for you, no matter what life throws our way. I’m friendly with people. I love making new friends! I’d do best in a home with kiddos over the age of five. I’m a strong fella and I don’t want to accidentally hurt someone. I’m hoping to find a family who can give me plenty of physical and mental exercise. Throw a me a Kong toy with some peanut butter or let’s leash up and go for a walk together! I do well on a leash but sometimes I get a little jumpy. I’m excited to improve my leash skills with you! I’m part of the running program at Wayside and I’ve done well! If you’re looking for a running dog, I might just be the pup for you! I’m a husky, through and through. I’m looking for a family who is comfortable and knowledgeable about the kind of care huskies need. I sure can’t wait to meet you! Come to Wayside! I’ll be waiting!”
