Wayside Waifs is a nonprofit humane society and animal shelter. Wayside is the largest no kill pet adoption campus in Kansas City, placing approximately 5,400 animals each year. Wayside does not euthanize adoptable animals, and there are no time limits for animals in our care.
It is not endowed or supported by local, state or federal funds, or national humane organizations. It is primarily supported by memberships, bequests, the pet cemetery, pet adoptions, and gifts from the public, businesses and foundations.
