Wayside Waifs is a no kill animal shelter, located in south Kansas City, Missouri, on 50 beautiful acres. Helping animals since 1944, and only through the generosity of donors, Wayside Waifs is able to serve more than 27,000 pets and people annually through pet adoptions, youth education and canine training programs, and community programming, like the pet food pantry.  Visit their website for info:  https://waysidewaifs.org

Great Plains SPCA provides lifesaving services for approximately 5,000 animals annually in the greater Kansas City area. Great Plains SPCA exists because of our caring Kansas City community and generous donors. We offer a lifelong, full-circle approach for pets and their human companions with our three-pronged approach: prevention, adoption, retention.

When we began as Animal Haven in 1966, we committed to working as the community shelter, filling in a need that didn’t exist at the time. Today, our commitment remains to the cities and residents we support. As Kansas City’s premium family shelter, we continue to support the nine municipalities with which we are contracted, including Overland Park, Leawood, Lenexa, Mission Hills, Prairie Village, Shawnee, Bonner Springs, Lake Quivira and JO CO Parks Department and the JO CO Sheriff’s Department.  Visit their website for more info:  https://www.greatplainsspca.org.
