On June 5, 1940, a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, known as the Jackson County Animal Betterment Association, was incorporated in the State of Missouri. In 1944, it was revived with new leadership under the name of Wayside Waifs, Inc. Fenby Webster was the lead contributor who helped to found Wayside Waifs. The shelter was built in southeast Kansas City, Missouri in 1945 and remained until 1999 when a state-of-the-art facility was built adjacent to the original building. Additional acreage was acquired over the years, bringing the total acreage to 50 acres.The Top of the World Pet Cemetery (now known as Wayside Waifs Pet Memorial Park) was founded in 1946. It was established to provide a convenience to people who wanted their pets put to rest in the peace and beauty of an established haven. More than 12,000 pets are interred on our three pet burial grounds making Wayside one of the largest pet cemeteries in the United States.   Wayside Waifs is a nonprofit humane society and animal shelter. It is not endowed or supported by local, state or federal funds, or national humane organizations. It is financially supported primarily from memberships, bequests, the pet cemetery, adoptions and gifts from the public, businesses and foundations.During the 1951 flood, Wayside was on duty day and night. In May of 1957, the agency participated in rescue work following the Ruskin Heights and Martin City tornado. Wayside patrolled these areas, bringing in injured and homeless animals.In December 2012, Wayside Waifs opened the doors of a newly expanded and renovated shelter veterinary clinic. In 2011, Wayside cared for more than 6,500 abandoned, abused and homeless pets.Wayside Waifs is a comprehensive animal welfare organization providing: animal rescue, shelter veterinary care, retail pet boutique, pet adoptions, off-leash dog park, humane education programs for more than 30,000 school children each year, volunteer opportunities, secure pet care for local domestic violence shelters and pet memorial services and cemetery.

Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home

The main reasons animals are in shelters: owners give them up, or animal control finds them on the street

Each year, approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren't enough adoptive homes.

7.6 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide every year

Less than 2% of cats and only 15 to 20% of dogs are returned to their owners

25% of dogs that enter in local shelters are purebred

About twice as many animals enter shelters as strays compared to the number that are relinquished by their owners.

It’s impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States. Estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.

Only 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered.

Many strays are lost pets that were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification.

I chose this organization because I felt like they are like Jesus in a way.They save animals off the street no matter what they are or what they look like.Jesus helped those who needed the help even though they looked dirty or had an illness.He cure people who had leprosy just because it was the right thing.
