My name is Waylon and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m 1 year old and weigh 29 lbs. I came to my foster home in Jonesburg, MO, from a commercial breeding facility where I was born. I’m lovable! I’ll jump up on my foster mom and dad any chance I get for affection and attention. I’m a goofy, active, high-energy boy, typical for a young Shiba. I love to run and play fetch. I’m obsessed with blankets and towels. Any chance I get, I’ll grab one and run around the house with it. I do okay when left alone in my kennel, and I’m also still in that stage where I want to chew everything, so my forever family will want to supervise me carefully. I’m smart and very food motivated, which should help with training. I walk well on leash, though I spend most of my outside time in a securely fenced yard at my foster home. I think I’d really like taking long walks exploring. My perfect forever home would have another active dog for me to play with. I haven’t lived with any human kids, but foster mom thinks I’d like them, though I might accidentally knock over a really little kid with my playfulness. I like to chase cats, so I’m probably not a good match for them. I'm a healthy boy - neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a fun, active, loveable boy to be your bff, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the process of becoming an approved SIRA adopter. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you to make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA can introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet!
