Sly-Vester, a 4-year-old domestic shorthair

This handsome guy is Sly-Vester! He is a dashing tuxedo boy with a heart full of love and a serious sense of adventure.

Life is one big playground to him, and he is always ready to explore it! Whether it’s a new room or a cardboard box fort, Sly is all in.

But don’t let his explorer side fool you, he is just as much a lover as he is an adventurer. Sly is a super friendly, social guy who adores cuddling up with his humans. He has a lot of love to give and is not shy about asking for affection.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion whose equal parts explorer, entertainer, and snuggle buddy, Sly-Vester might just be your purrfect match. Meet him at Wayside Waifs and start your next adventure together!

Meet Hope Anne — a bouncy, lovable black Lab mix with a heart full of joy and a tail that just won’t quit.

She’s learning all sorts of awesome things like basic commands and how to walk nicely on a leash. Hope Anne is a smart girl who’s eager to learn, especially if treats and praise are involved. She absolutely loves people and wants to be with them as much as possible; she would make a great adventure buddy for an active family.

One of her absolute must-haves is another playful dog friend in the home. She’s got energy to burn and having a four-legged buddy helps her release it in all the right ways. She will need to meet any resident dogs beforehand to make sure they are a good fit, and she also needs to meet the whole human family too, just to be sure everyone is comfortable and happy.

Hope Anne is goofy, affectionate, full of zest, and has so much love to give. Meet her today at Wayside Waifs.
