Your Gift of Love Saves Them


Jacob is an eight-month-old mixed breed who was transferred from an under-resourced shelter to Wayside Waifs. He has a lot of energy, and when he arrived, he needed to learn some manners. His high energy could become too much and often appeared in destructive ways. We enrolled him in our Waifs With Wisdom training class to help him better manage his lively personality by teaching him socialization and basic obedience. Jacob has come so far since he arrived. Your support is critical to help animals like Jacob. Donate now to give them a second chance at love.
