Pet Location: Wayside Waifs CampusMy Friends at Wayside say: - I am from a hoarding situation. I will likely need extra time to adjust to home life. I have lived with other dogs but have not socialized with people. Things like walking on a leash and going through doorways can be challenging for me. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding, but I need time to learn. - I’m a shy dog and need someone willing to be patient with me.- During my time at Wayside, I have enjoyed being around other dogs. My home needs are: - If you have kids in the home 9 years old and younger, I will need to meet them since I can be nervous around new people and loud noises. - New people and things make me a little nervous. Wayside recommends that I have a low traffic home. Special Request from Everly: For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.Hi, I’m Everly! I’m a shy and gentle girl who’s had a rough start. I come from a hoarding situation, so I’ll need extra time to adjust to home life. I’ve lived with other dogs and really enjoy their company, but I haven’t had much experience with people yet. Things like walking on a leash or going through doorways can be tricky for me at first, so I need someone patient who’s willing to help me learn and grow at my own pace. Adopting me will be extremely rewarding for the right person who understands I need time and gentle guidance.I can be nervous around new people, new places, and loud noises, so I’d do best in a low-traffic home where I can feel safe and comfortable. If you have kids 9 and younger, I’ll need to meet them first so we can get to know each other in a calm way. During my time at Wayside, I’ve loved hanging out with other dogs and finding comfort in their presence. If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet, and loyal companion who just needs a little patience and love, I could be the perfect match for you!Love, Everly

Wayside recommends that I have a low traffic home.Hi, I’m Johnny! I’m a shy and sweet boy who’s had a rough start. I come from a hoarding situation, so I’ll need extra time to adjust to home life. I’ve lived with other dogs and really enjoy their company, but I haven’t had much experience with people yet. Things like walking on a leash or going through doorways can be tricky at first, but I’m smart, food-motivated, and eager to learn, so with patience and treats, I know I can thrive. Adopting me will be incredibly rewarding for someone who’s willing to go slow and let me gain confidence at my own pace.I’m playful too! Balls, squeaky toys, rope toys, I love them all and can spend hours having fun while learning new things. I do best with gentle guidance, patience, and lots of encouragement as I navigate new experiences and environments.For my forever home, I need to meet any other dogs in the household before adoption to make sure we get along. I’d do best with kids 10 and older and in a low-traffic home since new people and loud noises can make me nervous. If you’re patient, kind, and willing to give me time to adjust, I’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of playful companionship!Love, Johnny

Wayside recommends that I have a low traffic home.Hi, I’m Ava!I’ve had a tough start in life, coming from a hoarding situation, so new experiences and new people can feel a little scary for me at first. I haven’t had much chance to socialize with humans, so things like walking on a leash or going through doorways can be a bit challenging. But I’m learning every day, and with a patient family, I know I can grow confident, brave, and loving.I really enjoy being around other dogs, and they’ve helped me feel safe and happy during my time at Wayside. I would do best in a calm, low-traffic home where I can take things slowly. I’m a little nervous around loud noises and sudden movements, so kids 6 years and older would be perfect. They can give me space while still enjoying my sweet, gentle personality.I need a fenced yard where I can safely explore and go potty, and I’ll need a martingale collar for walks (Wayside’s store, Whiskers and Wags, has them ready for you!). I may take a little time to adjust, but adopting me will be extremely rewarding. Once I feel safe, I promise to shower you with love, loyalty, and maybe even a few happy tail wags every day. Are you ready to give me a chance? Love, Ava
