My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Laylabelle's only been with us a short while, and we can't believe the change we've seen in the short time she's been here!

When she first came to us, she was shut down and scared to be in a completely new place from what she'd known. She had been surrendered to the NYC ACC when her family had been evicted from their home and her whole life was turned upside down.

While we hate that she had to be separated from her family, it might have very well saved her life, because it was at the ACC where they discovered she had pyometra (which is an infection in her uterus) and she was spayed to remove the infection before she came to us. She's currently healing well from the spay, but did develop an umbilical hernia that will be fixed before she's ready to head to her forever home.

Shortly after Laylabelle arrived at Wayward, we found out that one of the dogs she had been surrendered with was still in one of the ACC shelters, so we reached out to see if we would be able to pull him and reunite the two of them, hoping that with one of her friends back with her, she would be happier and start to come out of her shell.

And boy, were we right! The other dog, who we've name Jack, has made Laylabelle SO happy. Our guess, based on their ages and how they act with eachother, is that Jack is most likely her son, but we don't know that for sure. What we do know is that we can't bare to separate them again, so we are looking for a home for the two of them together!

They are both sweet, gentle, and trusting little dogs who are looking for a home to love the two of them!

Laylabelle also wants the whole world to know how happy she is to be reunited with Jack, and proudly tells everyone during their walks together. Check out our Facebook or Instagram to see some videos of this adorable pair.

And if you are interested in adopting the two of them, you can fill out an adoption application for them on our website, waywardranch.org!

More about this rescue

Our Mission: To provide a quality life to the animals that need it most.

Wayward Ranch Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a 501c3, tax exempt non-profit organization and all donations to our sanctuary are tax deductible.

The Dream:

Wayward Ranch was founded by three friends who, after working for other rescues for a long time, realized there was something missing from the average rescue model. No animal is perfect, and in the typical shelter system any behavioral concerns an animal had coming in are just exacerbated the longer they are kenneled or caged waiting for a home.

Many local shelters have taken to shipping puppies up from the south because they are more “adoptable” than the shelter animals we have here. However, this just floods are market and takes homes and resources from our local animals who are suffering as a result.

We are committed to a different type of rescue experience. We are a unique combination of adoption and sanctuary facility, taking the pressure of euthanasia away from animals who may not be generically adoptable. We also help our animals thrive, rather than deteriorate, as they wait for forever homes using a combination of enrichment and training techniques.
