Wayside Waifs – Fur Ball, “Woof 66”
More than 1,000 people gathered for Wayside Waifs’ Fur Ball, “Woof 66,” on May 11th. Jill Dean and Jean Wagner were the honorary co-chairmen, and Martha and Rusty Smith and Therese and David Yost served as the co-chairmen. The sold-out event raised more than $1.4 million to help save the lives of thousands of abandoned, abused, and homeless pets.
