Wayside Waifs

31 dogs and puppies have arrived safely at Wayside today after a call for help from the ASPCA. They are being admitted now. The transport was headed from OK to Illinois but was unable to travel north due to dangerous weather. They contacted us for help early this morning and of course we said yes! Thanks to the support of our donors we are able to help these innocent animals. Tail wags and purrs for your support. Also a big shoutout to our teams for scrambling to come in and help out on this bitterly cold day.
