❤️ About Waylon
Waylon is a gentle, soulful dog with a heart of gold. Rescued from a Montana reservation at just 12 weeks old, he survived a harsh winter with only two of his littermates. Because of this early hardship, he’s both deeply loyal and understandably sensitive.
He’s affectionate and loving once he feels safe, and enjoys quiet companionship and long moments watching the stars beside his favorite humans. When he trusts you, he’s goofy, devoted, and full of heart.
🌿 Ideal Home
Waylon thrives with space, peace, and consistency. The perfect home for him would have:
Land or acreage where he can roam freely and safely.
No neighboring dogs sharing a fence, as he’s protective of his space.
A calm environment without the constant noise of the city or frequent visitors.
Another friendly, balanced dog he can play and coexist with.
No young children under 10, as sudden noise or fast movements can overwhelm him.
He’s happiest in a rural or semi-rural home where he can explore, relax, and feel secure.
🐕 Personality and Behavior
Waylon is a sweet but cautious dog. He can be:
Reactive when startled or encountering unfamiliar dogs.
Anxious in chaotic or noisy settings.
Playful once he knows and trusts other dogs.
Affectionate but independent, appreciating his personal space and quiet time.
His reactivity comes from fear, not aggression — with patience and understanding, his loving, loyal side shines through. He bonds deeply with those who give him consistency and calm.
🏡 Why He Needs a New Home
With a new baby in the house, the increased activity and noise have made it difficult for Waylon to feel fully comfortable. He deserves a peaceful home where he can relax and thrive again.
🌟 Waylon’s Wishlist
Room to roam freely
The ability to go outside when he wants
No shared-fence neighbor dogs
Hikes through woods or near water
Fetch a couple of times per day
A dog friend to play with
A comfortable couch or bed to curl up on
🧡 Summary
Waylon is a sensitive, loyal companion with endless love to give. He just needs a peaceful environment, open space, and a patient, understanding person who values quiet moments and steady companionship.
If you’re looking for a devoted dog who will walk beside you, watch the stars with you, and love you deeply once you’ve earned his trust, Waylon may be your perfect match.
