The cost of spay/neuter surgeries is a barrier for many families โ€” and that leads to more pets entering shelters or being abandoned.

Wayward Journey is increasing financial support for these surgeries to help break this cycle.โ€จYou can help: A small donation can fully or partially cover a surgery for a pet who needs it.
Need assistance? Ready to support?โ€จWeโ€™d love to hear from you. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

๐Ÿ Bee Has Found Her Forever Home! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ’›
After 6 months in the shelter, our sweet Bee has finally found her forever family! Her journey wouldnโ€™t have been possible without the power of foster care.
Thanks to her foster home, Bee got the chance to:
โœจ Learn her house manners in a loving environment
๐Ÿพ Play and socialize with other dogs
๐Ÿ’– Show off her true personality outside the shelter

Fostering saves lives โ€” it helps dogs like Bee shine and prepare for adoption. We also want to shout out Taylor at Take the Lead Canine Coaching for teaching Bee safety and manners, and to everyone who supports animals deserving of a second chance.

Hereโ€™s to Beeโ€™s next adventure โ€” happily ever after! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ซ
