House trained: Mostly, with an occasional accident

Energy level: Medium

Noise level: Quiet

My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Waylon are his silly zoomies and sweet snuggles!

Hi, Im Waylon!

My foster family describes me as a goofy, playful pup who loves to play!

Im a big fan of playing with toys, wrestling with my doggy foster siblings, and hanging out around the house. I love being with my people, and Im very snuggly and sweet. I like snoozing the day away in my crate while everyones working, and then showing off my playful side when its time to have fun!

Moving to D.C. was a big adjustment for me, and Im still getting used to life in the city. My foster family says that Ive made amazing progress already, and that they can tell I work really hard to be brave. Im most timid when Im outside, because big noises scare me, and they happen all the time in the city! Im getting more comfortable everyday though, and Ill be a regular city slicker soon enough!

Other favorite activities of mine include observing birds and squirrels to make sure they arent up to any plotting (I do suspect they are), and eating treats. Do I know any tricks, you ask? Erm. No. But who needs tricks when youre a polite, well-behaved boy who happens to also be very adorable?

If youre looking for a pup to add to your pack who is equal parts playful and laid-back, I might be your guy! Id love to join a family where I have doggy siblings, or a family who will be excited to play with me! I promise Ill be the best work from home buddy, keep all the neighborhood squirrels in check, and always be there to offer cuddles! I cant wait to meet my forever family, so apply to adopt me today!

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
