Wayside Waifs is committed to leading the way to end the euthanasia of adoptable animals in Kansas City. To achieve this goal, Wayside Waifs transitioned from an Open Admissions Shelter* to a Limited Admissions Shelter** in 2006. Making this change has allowed us to have a more personal relationship with the people and animals we serve. We are able to talk to the public about the issues they are experiencing that makes them feel surrendering their pet is the best option. We focus on educating the public and providing resources to pet owners to correct problem behaviors. Our goal is to provide pet owners the right tools to keep the pet in the home with the family. However, when keeping the animal is not an option, we schedule a surrender appointment for the animal, or recommend other available alternatives in the community.
