Story

We live in a rural area where people abandon/dump pets. We had started seeing a timid medium size black dog mid-summer, looking similar to one of our dogs that is a retriever/lab/mastiff mix. Eventually, the dog came closer and wanted to play with our dogs. Still timid, but getting curious. We could tell the dog was a female, somewhat young, and definitely not as big our dog. One day, she started following the dogs inside. She began sleeping near the backdoor. Her food and water were now by the house, and she would come in, but not stay long or let us get close. By October, she was moved in. 5-6 weeks later, November 7th, 2024, she showed her gratitude by delivering 8 puppies. We have found homes for 6 of them, but two females remain. They are in their preschool era. They are crate trained overnight and most of the time indicate when they need to go out. They still prefer to sleep piled on each other, most of the time. They are fully weaned and eating puppy kibble.

Story

Update - Waylon spent the day in Nashville, visiting shops and meeting new people. He was perfect! He was curious but not rambunctious while in the shops. Waylon met new people politely, enjoying pets but not overly enthusiastically! He was calm when seeing other dogs in town. Simply a perfect dog to take out on the town! If you are looking for a dog that will enjoy outings with you, come meet Waylon. He is a gem! We love Waylon and think you will too! He is as fun-loving as they come. Waylon adores outdoor adventures, especially splashing in creeks during walks, turning even the simplest outing into a joyful exploration. His playful spirit shines brightest when he's jumping high in the air to catch balls, a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter. For a chunky guy, he's very athletic! One of Waylon's favorite pastimes is learning new tricks, especially when there are treats involved-he's always eager to show off his latest skills with a wagging tail and a big grin. He will be a fun dog to teach new tricks to. After a little exercise, Waylon is ready to settle in for some lovin'. He is very sweet and affectionate with his human friends, leaning in close for pets and sharing kisses. His previous owners stated that Waylon loves car rides and is house trained. Waylon has made several doggy friends at the shelter. He loves to chase and be chased. He has mastered a terrific spin move and does somersaults to keep his playmates guessing! Such a fun boy! Waylon's goofy charm and zest for life make every moment with him an adventure waiting to happen. Waylon is ready to bring laughter and love into your home.
