Meet Waylon



Waylon is learning how to be a dog — and it’s the sweetest thing to watch. From discovering toys to learning how to snuggle, this gentle boy is blossoming more every day. He absolutely loves to play, especially roughhousing with the other dogs in his foster home, and truly thrives with canine companionship. A confident dog buddy helps him build his confidence and brings out his playful, happy personality.



Waylon prefers having a little more freedom and doesn’t do well in confined spaces. Because he would try to escape and can hurt himself, we made the decision not to crate him and instead focus on keeping him safe and comfortable in other ways.



Waylon adores attention and affection, enjoys being petted, and is learning that cuddles are pretty great too. He’s a sweet soul with a soft heart — gentle when taking treats, eager to please, and always trying his best to do the right thing. He loves kids, loves his people, and just wants to belong to a family of his own.



Waylon would do great with a first-time giant breed owner who is ready to provide love, patience, and continued guidance. A fenced yard is a must so he can safely run, play, and burn off his puppy energy. Having another dog in the home is essential to help build his confidence and give him a playful companion.



Waylon is the kind of dog who will grow into an incredibly loyal, loving companion with the right family by his side. If you’re looking for a sweet boy with a playful spirit, a gentle heart, and the potential to become the most devoted best friend you’ve ever had — Waylon is waiting for you.

More about this rescue

Just Giant Rescue Inc (JGRI) is a dog rescue catering to giant breed dogs. We don’t discriminate against breed, but they must be giants such as the regal Great Dane, loyal Mastiff, and clownish Saint Bernard, to name a few.

We strive to follow the 3 R’s.
• Rescuing. We rescue from all types of situations, owner surrenders, and from local shelters. We strive to help as many as we can, with what resources we have available.
• Rehabilitating. All dogs are fostered inside loving homes, becoming temporary family members. They are fully vet checked, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and guarded against heartworm, fleas and ticks. They are also given a temperament test prior to being eligible for adoption.
• Re-homing. Each dog is individually matched with the best suited adoptive home for them. Each applicant wanting to adopt must fill out an application and complete a home check prior to being approved.
