Story
This spotted cutie is Waylon!Waylon was recently surrendered from a multi-dog household after his previous family could no longer care for him. He is a friendly, energetic pup who is looking for an active home ready to keep both his brain and body busy. Waylon has been an absolute angel with our staff and has been easy to handle. He can be a little anxious when meeting new people, but offer him a treat and you’ll quickly become his new best friend.Despite his large size, Waylon is surprisingly well-mannered on leash and has done excellent in a securely fenced area. He is probably not a good candidate for a tie-out. Waylon is still working on house-training, but he is young, smart, and very eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training.We do not know if Waylon has experience with cats or young children, but given his friendly nature, we believe he could do well with proper introductions.Waylon is available for immediate adoption and ready to find a family that can keep up with his fun-loving, adventurous spirit!

Story
Purchased Finn from an independent person, dog had a litter unplanned. He was 6 months when we adopted him. He is full of energy, loves to play and give kisses. He has been raised with two others dogs and a cat. He is gentle with other animals and gets along well with them. He is totally potty trained, no issues at all with that. He has been around kids and can be good with them. His biggest issue is he is very stranger shy and it takes him a long time to get used to people. Once you are part of the pack, then you are good, but until then he is very defensive and barks. You can break through his defenses quickly by simply offering him a treat. He also really gravitates toward his person and can be come pretty protective of that person. He has been known to nip at people to protect his person. With some time and training I am sure this could be quickly corrected. He is smart and very loving, he will give you all the kisses and hugs you want! A big lap dog for sure.
