Story
The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Waylon Jennings from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Hound lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, cat approved, LOVES the outdoors, smart, etc. The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing floppy ears.

Waylon Jennings is believed to be a Hound mix approximately 8 months old and currently weighs 41 lbs and growing! He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Waylon is very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to. He has been in playgroups with dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Waylon is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. In typical hound fashion, when Waylon meets dogs, or when he gets happy or excited about really anything, he does talk about it and will either let out those famous Hound woo woo’s or he’ll whine about it LOL. He’s just a happy boy that like to express how happy he is.
Also, little disclaimer about his version of “going off to do his own thing” is zooming all by his lonesome self having the best time ever LOL. When he’s zooming, he truly in his own little world and it’s the most entertaining thing to watch. You also can’t help but smile watching him run as fast as he can with his ears flopping in the wind with the biggest smile on his face. When he’s not zooming and wants to play, he has a very puppy like playstyle. It’s bouncy, a little mouthy, gentle, and not too physical. Waylon would do best in a home with a happy go lucky doggy friend that enjoys romping around, playing chase, isn’t super into physical wrestling type play, and also enjoys those relaxing moments as well.
Waylon also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
When it comes to training, Waylon is ready and eager to learn! He loves treats and already knows a few basic commands such a sit and is so willing to learn more. Waylon is mastering his leash skills, it's just something he hasn't done a whole lot of and he's already showing so much improvement. What does he need to get better at? Well, not zigzagging and learning to stay close on leash. With structure and patience, he'll be walking like the distinguished gentleman he is.
Waylon will thrive with a semi-active family that enjoys frequent outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, going to the beach or even casual play time in the yard. A family or individual who appreciates nature and is ready to explore parks, trails, or snowy landscapes would be perfect. While he loves the great outdoors and loves to explore, Waylon is also an affectionate snuggly guy at home and loves to burry his head into you for love, rest his head on your lap, and cuddle away. If you enjoy the outdoors but also cherish time spent relaxing indoors, Waylon is the perfect fit. He would also do best in a home with a backyard as well. A place where he can stretch his legs, check out all of his favorite sniff spots, play with his big red ball (he prays you buy him one), roll around in the grass, and sunbathe during those beautiful summer days.
We are willing to test Waylon Jennings with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
