Wilma
11 months
Female
Basset Hound
Hi everyone! I'm Wilma, an 11 month, 35 lb. Bassett Hound who hopes
to have a family to call my own soon. I came to Wayside as a stray and,
boy, was I glad to have someone take me in and care for me!
Being such a young dog, I don't have many life skills to survive on
my own! While I was very timid and scared when I first got here, I've
blossomed into quite the social butterfly.
I'm a friendly, sweet-natured and fun-loving dog who likes going on
walks and hanging out with my human friends here at Wayside. I love
being around people and have this cute (and very effective) way of
snuggling up to my human friends when they're sitting on the couch,
looking up at them with this adoring expression and - presto!-I'm
rewarded with lots of petting and ear-scratching.
Being a young dog, I still have lots of puppy-like playfulness and
energy, and so ideally my adoptive family will provide a moderate level
of activity for me and some obedience training. I'm pretty friendly
around other dogs, but if you have any canine members in your family you
should bring them in so we can meet - just to make sure it's a good
fit.
Oh, and I'm also okay with cats! One of the staff members here at
Wayside took me to her home for a little outing, and she said I liked
her cats. So if you're looking for a happy-go-lucky, friendly dog please
come to Wayside soon so we can meet.
Love, Wilma

Layla
3 years / 6 months
Female
Domestic Medium Hair
What'll you do when you get lonely, and nobody's waitin' by your
side? Adopt a kitty, preferably me! Hello there. My name is Layla, just
like the classic rock song. Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" about a beautiful
woman and, as you can see from my picture, I'm quite the looker myself.
I'm a gorgeous, petite, long haired calico with super soft, luxurious
fur. I was found as a stray, so I'm very thankful to be safe and cool
here at Wayside, waiting for my forever man or woman to walk in here and
fall in love with me.
People here at Wayside describe me as friendly, sweet, confident,
loving and affectionate. I love being petted, especially scratches on my
head. My Felineality is Personal Assistant. That means I'm a
people-oriented cat who is medium brave in new situations. When we're at
home together, I will want to be with you, helping you with all your
household tasks, whether it's folding laundry, cooking dinner or working
on the computer.
If you're looking for a pretty feline friend to put a song in your heart, come to Wayside and meet me, Layla!
Love, Layla

Please let me introduce myself: I
am Sam, I am. And I am an adorable, lovable, cuddle-able mix of
short-coat Chihuahua and Beagle, two breeds that blend together to make
me and I'm just as unique as I can be (a Chihuahua and Beagle with the
regal face of our canine's superhero, Rin-Tin-Tin).
I'm a perfect sized medium (23
pounds of me) and I'm at that perfect age (five) where I've settled into
my personality and you know who I am (sweet, sweet Sam, I am).
I'm mostly tan with a sprinkling
of dark color around my face and eyebrows-and you've got to look into
these soulful eyes and see my distinctly marked, always-pondering
"eyebrows." I've been called a "Teddy bear," although I'm not sure what
that means. I want to please so I hope it's good!
I do know that I adore people and I love to be petted under my chin,
on the tippy top of my head, over my ears, down my back-you could pet me
until the cows come home-or until you decide that you like green eggs
and ham.
I adore ear-scratching sessions,
mine, of course. I thought I'd let you know that these are my favorite
ways to be with you (although I would never be pushy about it! (1)
standing next to you and leaning, oh, so gently in, (2) sitting next to
you and leaning, oh, so gently in, and (3) laying next to you, while
you're sitting and doing whatever appeals to you. Whatever it is, it
appeals to me.
I'm an inquisitive, curious boy
and I like to explore with you, sniffing the smells and taking in the
sights. I came from another shelter quite a ways away because they ran
out of room and Wayside took me in. I haven't been here long and I've
already made lots of friends.
I don't know where I was before the other shelter brought me here but
something might have caused me to be slightly afraid (for now) of loud
noises and quick movements, nothing out of line but I would probably be
better in a home with no children under five.
I can't wait to meet everyone in
your family so I can show you what a precious boy I am. I'm a lovable,
huggable, sweet guy with a huge heart. If you want a loyal companion who
would follow you to the ends of the earth, I'm here waiting for you.
Love, Sam

Here
at SFI, we warned more than a year ago that Egypt had big problems that
required big solutions that the Muslim Brotherhood government wasn’t up
to the task of delivering. Walter Russell Mead, writing at his blog on the website of The American Interest, spells out just how serious the situation is and what the immediate future looks like.
With four dead in ongoing protests against the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt,
