70 Years Saving Animals
In 2014 the staff, volunteers, donors, and board of directors of Wayside Waifs paused to reflect upon 70 years of providing hope for our
community’s lost, abused, and abandoned pets. With your support, Wayside Waifs has come a very long way since our founder, Fenby
Webster, established the organization. Seventy years later, our facility now includes a 50-acre campus with a 47,000 square foot
state-of-the-art animal shelter and beautiful pet memorial park.
Unfortunately, the challenge to save animal lives in our community has only grown since Fenby Webster courageously started Wayside
Waifs and our mission remains as clear today as it was in 1944.
Pet adoption remains a top focus. Your gifts in 2014 found forever homes for 4,301 dogs, cats, and small mammals. Our three large
adoption events, Adopt-a-thon, MegaMatch, and our Annual Holiday Open House were successful in adopting a total of 515 animals!
Your support and participation at Fur Ball and Strutt With Your Mutt, our signature
events, raised necessary funds and awareness of our mission. A special thanks to Fur
Ball Event Chairs Brad and Libby Bergman and Honorary Chairs George and Leslie
Brett for lending their volunteer leadership to the 20th Annual Fur Ball Gala: “Our
Waifs Are in A League of Their Own” in May. Then in September 1,000+ dogs and
their companions descended upon the Brookside Neighborhood for the 24th Annual
Strutt With Your Mutt. It truly was a day to celebrate our canine companions.
Partnerships continue to be critical to our mission. We are honored to partner with
a growing number of businesses in the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor, including
Likarda. Likarda is working to create a revolutionary cure for diabetes in dogs and
cats. And with your support we now partner with 35 animal welfare organizations
across the country through our Animal Transfer Program. Your gifts in 2014 saved
2,193 animals through the Animal Transfer Program – you gave a second chance to
these animals desperate for help.
Wayside Waifs is a strong and growing organization because of your investment and
commitment to helping animals in need. With your continued support, I know the
Wayside team will always be here to provide life-saving care, love, and comfort to
those animals that need it the most.
With Gratitude,

You Saved Mr. Noodles & Roo…
Your support provided forever homes to 4,301 homeless pets. Meet two special Waif alumni from 2014:
Callie & Mr. Noodles
Callie and her family had their eyes on Mr. Noodles
during his move from an overcrowded shelter in
Joplin, MO to Wayside Waifs. Callie had the
opportunity to meet the friendly and playful Mr.
Noodles during Wayside’s MegaMatch Adoption
Event in October. Since going home, he has
adjusted well with his forever family and is a great
playmate to three-year-old Callie. The family
describes their visit to Wayside as “perfect.”
Margaret & Roo
Margaret, a lifelong animal lover, wanted to make a
difference and decided to become a Wayside Waifs’
volunteer. During her volunteer orientation class she
spotted Roo, a striking black and white cat that
pulled at her heartstrings. After class, Margaret
headed back to Cat Adoptions to officially adopt
Roo. She had no intention of adopting that day – but
she felt adopting Roo was a miracle brought into her
life. Margaret is now an active Cat Volunteer and
loves introducing cats to their potential adopters.
She says, “I see miracles every day!”
