Looking for a loving, playful buddy? At Wayside Waifs, it’s raining cats and dogs

Thelma

Breed: Mixed

Age: 2 years old

Thelma was rescued from a tough situation last fall, and she’s been living the life in foster while awaiting her forever home. You might have noticed her skin: This is the way she was born, so regular baths and vet check-ups will be essential to keep her healthy.

She’s mostly housebroken, and loves being by the side of all of her favorite humans. She also loves toys, cuddling and giving people hugs: She’s very intuitive. She’s learned how to walk on leash, and enjoys short strolls. She likes the dogs in her foster home, so she’d love another friendly dog in her future home.

Francis

Breed: Domestic shorthair mix

Age: 3 years old

Francis is the sweetest kitty you’ll ever meet. She’s a little timid at first and requires some time to get comfortable, but once she does, you’ll see how affectionate she can be. She’s a very easy-going lady who just wants to be loved on. She enjoys playing with toys, especially little mouse plushies, but cuddle-time will always be a must. Her dream is to find her forever loving home, so come by and meet her.
