My story

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

Meet Waylon —your future adventure buddy with a heart of gold!

Waylon is a 4½-year-old Husky/German Shepherd mix weighing 62 pounds of pure love, energy, and goofiness. This handsome guy came to us through no fault of his own when his previous owner’s work schedule didn’t leave enough time for him. Now he’s ready for a fresh start with someone who can give him the attention he deserves.

Waylon is fantastic with kids, gets along great with female dogs and smaller dogs, and is a total sweetheart once he knows you. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows his manners—sit, shake, lay down, stay? Nailed it.
That said… if left uncrated too long, his mischievous side might come out (think “curious husky energy,” not chaos).

This boy has a high energy level and lives for agility courses, running and car rides, toys, toys, and more toys. He also enjoys playing in water. Waylon would thrive in a home where someone is around often, because he doesn’t love being left alone for long. He’s affectionate, easy-going, playful, and always happy to be by your side once he bonds with you. Compatibility with cats and small furry pets is currently unknown.

Waylon is available through our foster-to-adopt program, which includes neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and heartworm testing. His adoption fee is $160.

If you’re ready to meet this sweet, affectionate boy and give him the loving home he’s been waiting for, email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit an online adoption application for Waylon.
Trust us—this is one very nice dog.

Additional adoption info

At Parma Animal Shelter, we do not adopt our animals out as gifts or surprises. We believe that adopting a pet is a significant commitment and should be a well-considered decision. Therefore, we reserve the right to refuse any adoption to ensure the best match for both the animal and the adopter.

All of our animals are microchipped, tested for disease, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, treated for fleas and internal parasites, and given lots of loving care during their stay with us. We are dedicated to meeting their medical needs and do our best to socialize them.

If you have questions about any of our cats, please feel free to email us at catadoptions@parmashelter.org. Our volunteers are more than happy to provide information about their personalities and any recommendations for the best home environment possible for each individual animal.

To start the adoption process, you can submit an application by visiting our website parmashelter.org. For cats, please use the following link: https://form.jotform.com/223634976258165. For dogs, questions can be directed to dogadoptions@parmashelter.org, and applications can be submitted here: https://form.jotform.com/230706749163055.

As we get to know our animals better, we will post updates on their behavior in the shelter to assist you in making an informed decision.

Thank you once again for your interest in our dogs and cats. We look forward to helping you find the perfect companion.
