My name is Waylan!

WAYLAN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Waylan        Best Guess for Breed:    Shepherd and Lab mix   

Best Guess for Age:    4 years and 10 months as of Sept. 2024       Gender:    Female

Approximate Weight:    33.8 lbs

Gets Along With: Waylan does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. We haven’t seen Waylan with cats or kids, but she can be tested! We would be cautious placing Adina in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.

Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter - Waylan needs a foster or adopter to make her way to the DC area

Special Adoption Considerations: Waylan is shy and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog.


Waylan is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. 

We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!

Waylan is Looking For: 

Meet Waylan, a sweet and affectionate 4-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix with a soft light tan coat that perfectly matches her warm personality. At around 30 lbs, she’s the perfect size for cuddles on the couch or fun adventures outdoors. Waylan is a gentle and loving soul who quickly bonds with those around her, making her an ideal companion for someone looking for a loyal and devoted friend.

Waylan is not just a pretty face; she’s also smart and eager to please. Whether it’s going for a walk, learning new tricks, or just lounging by your side, she’s happiest when she’s with her people. With her calm demeanor and sweet disposition, Waylan would thrive in a loving home where she can be showered with the attention and affection she deserves. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will bring joy and love into your life, Waylan is ready to find her forever home with you.
