Story
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!

Story
First he's sour, then he's sweet. Much like a sour patch kid, Oscar is the definition of a rascal. The 13-pound, 7-year-old pup was surrendered to Pets Alive because he has one issue: He's a biter! While someone attempted to adopt Oscar recently, he just wasn't having it. So alas, this boy is back at the shelter, and we're working on training to determine his triggers. Given his selective attitude, Oscar is best suited for a dog-savvy home without children.

Story
Casey is ready to find a fabulous forever family! He's a senior shih tzu, about 11 years old, who came to AATDR from the Deep River case in CT. He is an absolute sweetie! So get in line and fill out your applications 🙂 https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved Casey loves people and gets on well with other small dogs. We've never seen him with a cat but he would probably be fine - a meet and greet would tell us for sure. He'll do best in a quiet home with adults or older children. As a senior, he deserves to be able to just relax and enjoy his retirement. He'd love a canine companion who is a bit laid back. He does have some visual impairment but it doesn't get in his way at all. He needs eye drops daily, which are easy to give and inexpensive. He will have his neuter surgery on 6/10/24. . Let's show Casey just how wonderful life can be with a loving forever family, and that his present and future can be WAY better than his past! He's such a wonderful, deserving dog!
