My name is Waylan!

WAYLAN NEEDS A 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 Waylan 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: DC area foster home

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: Her forever home! This sweetie has come all the way from Texas hoping to find her forever family! Waylan is such a sweetie who wants nothing more than to trot through life with all the confidence of a well-loved dog. To get there, she needs extra patient and loving adopters whop understand he needs to experience new places and people at his pace. A welcoming resident dog will show him how to dog as well!

Waylan is just such a great girl who will pay back all the love, patience, and support she receives by being your loyal, loving companion for all her days. What do you say? Will she be yours?

What My Foster Says About Me: Waylan is the biggest snuggler! She wants nothing more than to be next to you on the couch, snoozing or with a chew toy. She is pretty shy, but warms up quite quickly once she is comfortable. She gets along with our resident dog - they share everything really well. She is the BEST companion!

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
