Update - Waylon spent the day in Nashville, visiting shops and meeting new people. He was perfect! He was curious but not rambunctious while in the shops.

If you are looking for a dog that will enjoy outings with you, come meet Waylon. He is a gem! We love Waylon and think you will too! He is as fun-loving as they come. Waylon adores outdoor adventures, especially splashing in creeks during walks, turning even the simplest outing into a joyful exploration. His playful spirit shines brightest when he's jumping high in the air to catch balls, a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter. For a chunky guy, he's very athletic! One of Waylon's favorite pastimes is learning new tricks, especially when there are treats involved-he's always eager to show off his latest skills with a wagging tail and a big grin. He will be a fun dog to teach new tricks to. After a little exercise, Waylon is ready to settle in for some lovin'. He is very sweet and affectionate with his human friends, leaning in close for pets and sharing kisses. His previous owners stated that Waylon loves car rides and is house trained. Waylon has made several doggy friends at the shelter. He loves to chase and be chased. He has mastered a terrific spin move and does somersaults to keep his playmates guessing! Such a fun boy! Waylon's goofy charm and zest for life make every moment with him an adventure waiting to happen. Waylon is ready to bring laughter and love into your home.

Looking to liven up your life? Rudy can help with that - he lives for playtime and pets! If you're a fan of fetch, Rudy will be your perfect match. This guy loves nothing more than chasing after balls and frisbees, leaping into the air to catch them, and then politely sitting as he eagerly waits for you to throw them again. His enthusiasm and athleticism shine when he's in action, and he's sure to bring tons of excitement to your playtime. Rudy's zest for life doesn't stop with play! He loves attention just as much, greeting you with a full-body wiggle when it's time for pets. He'll happily roll around, making sure you don't miss a single spot. His joy is infectious, and he's a fast learner too! Rudy's eager to please and quick to sit or lie down for treats, making him an enthusiastic student. He would be so much fun to train to do a variety of tricks. Your friends will be amazed! This friendly pup has also done well in playgroups, having a blast with other dogs. Rudy was found lost and confused on a country road but showed his loving nature by hopping into a kind stranger's car. He came to the shelter underweight with inflamed skin, but with lots of TLC, he's gaining weight and feeling better each day. Rudy would thrive with an active family who's ready for adventure. Could that be you? If you are interested in learning more about Rudy, apply at the link below and an adoption counselor can reach out to you directly. https://www.bchumane.org/adoption-application/
