Rick

Breed: Pit bull terrier mix

Age: 10 years old

This handsome man is Rick. He’s an older gentleman waiting for a place to call home for the rest of his life. He was found as a stray, and unfortunately no one came to claim him. However, he has settled in at Wayside Waifs and enjoys going on walks with his staff and volunteer friends.

He’s a chill, super friendly guy. He loves everyone, and loves getting pets. He loves to explore, and is pretty happy to go on leisurely strolls. He’s smart,. too. He already knows “sit” and “shake.” He also appears to be house-trained. He’s been on field trips and enjoys riding in the car, going to the park and looking at the fish in PetSmart. Are you ready to enjoy Rick’s golden years? Come meet him today.

Squash

Breed: Domestic shorthair mix/tabby

Age: 2 years old

This lovely lady came to Wayside Waifs after she was initially found as a stray, and the finders could not keep her. We’ve learned a lot about Squash since her stay with us. One of the most important things to note is that she prefers to be the only animal in the home.

She has a cute voice and she loves to chat with you. She’s social, friendly and enjoys staying by your side. She likes watching videos, so you have someone to Netflix and chill with. She does like to engage her mind with mentally stimulating activities, so keep her busy. Not to mention, she loves treats. Do you have room in your home for a kitty that wants to soak up all of your love? Come meet Squash.

Wayside Waifs is able to welcome visitors without an appointment. To learn about the adoption process and available animals, go here.
