2023 Strutt With Your Mutt

BioStar "Otto's" Team

Thank you for visiting our 2023 Strutt With Your Mutt team page and helping us reach our fundraising goal! BioStar is proud to support Wayside and their amazing mission - if you haven't seen the Wayside facilities, please contact David Smart, our team captain, who would gladly provide a tour!

We are participating in Wayside Waifs' annual Strutt With Your Mutt on Sunday, September 24, in beautiful Brookside! As Kansas City’s largest and most comprehensive no kill pet adoption campus, Wayside Waifs prepares pets and people for the bond of their lives. More than 20,000 pets and people are served annually through pet adoptions, youth education and canine training programs, and community programming, like the pet food pantry.

Below is a note from David's personal page regarding his experience with pet adoption and a growing family!

We adopted Otto during COVID when we learned of the MASSIVE influx of German Shepherds into shelters throughout the course of the pandemic... We originally planned to foster Otto, but fell in love instantly and changed our foster contract to an adoption contract! 

Jacquelyn and I had been trying to get pregnant for a LONG time, and Otto was our good luck charm (and welcome distraction from the stress of trying month after month). 

With your generous support to Strutt With Your Mutt, you are making a direct impact to the homeless animals at Wayside Waifs, giving them a second chance at finding a fur-ever home! We encourage you to join us on September 24.

Anything you are able to give makes a difference! Please consider making a donation to our team goal!
