WAYLON - MALTESE (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Maltese (short coat). Meet Waylon This sweet 6-pound, 3-year-old Maltese is proof that resilience comes in small packages. Despite a heartbreaking start in a puppy mill, where he knew nothing but neglect, Waylon is slowly learning what love, comfort, and safety feel like in his foster home. Waylon is making incredible strides every day. Though he’s still nervous around loud noises and fearful of kennels (a reminder of his past), he’s beginning to understand that not all spaces are scary—and that toys, playtime, and affection are part of his new world. Waylon must have another dog in his future home to help guide and comfort him. He finds joy and security in the companionship of other dogs and even gets along great with cats. However, a home with no small children is best, as he’s still adjusting to new experiences and needs a calm, patient environment. He’s currently learning about toys, the doggy door, and house training. Given his background of living in unsanitary conditions, these are big milestones—and he’s making progress every day with lots of encouragement and love. Waylon isn’t just looking for a home—he’s looking for healing. He needs a family who understands where he came from and is ready to walk beside him, patiently and lovingly, into a brighter future. In return, he’ll give you a heart full of love and a spirit that’s slowly but surely learning how to shine. Available in the Northeast (NY NJ CT RI VT PA DE MD NoVA).
