Now recruiting retail volunteers to join our team!
Work alongside passionate staff and volunteers at Wayside Waifs, Kansas City’s largest and most comprehensive no kill pet adoption campus. In addition to adopting out homeless animals, the shelter has Whiskers & Wags Outfitters, a boutique where animal lovers and adopters can shop for pet supplies. From fun toys to creature comforts and positive training products, Whiskers & Wags Outfitters has what dog and cat owners need to succeed. Every purchase goes right back into our shelter to rescue more homeless pets!
This volunteer opportunity is specifically geared toward individuals who would enjoy helping adopters through the process of selecting the things they need before heading home. 100% of the proceeds from each purchase support the animals at Wayside Waifs and our mission to partner pets and community for life.
We have an open volunteer position for Whiskers and Wags Outfitters (retail store) volunteers: The 1 st, 3 rd, and 5 th Sunday 1-5pm. Store volunteers get a 20% discount on store merchandise.

Mission Statement
Wayside Waifs is a charitable animal shelter whose purpose is to place adoptable companion animals in responsible homes. To accomplish this, we employ 3 key strategies: Providing temporary shelter for homeless companion animals, Educating the public. and Developing partnerships, collaborations and strategic alliances. Wayside Waifs is committed to finding homes for all adoptable pets. Wayside is the largest pet adoption campus in Kansas City, placing over 5,400 animals each year in loving forever homes. Wayside does not euthanize adoptable animals, and there are no time limits for animals in our care. Only animals suffering from significant medical issues or those that pose a danger are humanely euthanized. Wayside Waifs is proud to be a part of Kansas City's no kill community.
Description
Tails are wagging and cats are meowing in excitement over your participation. Volunteers and fosters play a vital role within our organization. Your support directly impacts the quality of life for the thousands of animals who come through our doors each year.
Volunteers need to be at least 16 years old, or between the ages of 13-15 with a parent, and will commit to three months of weekly shifts.
The first step toward becoming a volunteer or foster parent is to sign up for a new volunteer information session. Volunteer sessions are held three to four times a month.
At our information sessions you’ll get a chance to learn more about the programs and services of Wayside Waifs, plus what you can expect as a volunteer. After some Q&A, you can decide if volunteering at Wayside Waifs is the right fit for you. A tour of the shelter is offered as well.
