*PETFINDER INQUIRIES WILL NOT BE ANSWERED. PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AFTER READING HIS FULL ADOPTION LISTING. THE ADOPTION APPLICATION IS LOCATED ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application<br/> <br/>Meet Wonderful Waylon-North Carolina, an almost 3 year old male Goldendoodle, who is in an IDOG foster home in Wilmington, North Carolina.<br/> <br/>*Please read ALL the information in Waylon's listing before applying to ensure you understand what he needs to be successful in his new home.<br/> <br/>*Please complete our adoption application at http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application (copy/paste URL into your browser).<br/> <br/>*If you completed an adoption application in the last 6 months & would like for your application to be considered for Waylon, please email us at rescue@idogdoodlerescue.org.<br/> <br/>*You must complete our adoption application fully. If you choose not to answer all the questions in the application, your application will not be considered. We will review your application & email you if you made our short list of applicants for him. Please respond within 24 hours if you receive an email from us about making our short list.<br/> <br/>*You can check the status of his adoption at https://www.idogrescue.com/adopt or any of our social media pages. We will change his status to adopted when he is adopted.<br/> <br/>*We base our adoption decisions on what is in the best interest of our dogs. Please note our adoption policies are in place for the safety & welfare of our dogs. We are all volunteers & have jobs, families, pets of our own to care for. We do the best that we can to get back to you in a timely manner. We believe in taking time to go through our thorough process to try to match the dog with the best fit for that dog.<br/> <br/>*You must be approved to adopt him before we will schedule a meet & greet. We do not transport our dogs.<br/> <br/>*AGE: almost 3 years old (born June 2023)<br/> <br/>*WEIGHT: 60 lbs.<br/><br/>*FENCE REQUIREMENT: A physical fence and yard are required as we feel this would help set him up for success. No electronic/invisible fences, or e-collars will be allowed.<br/> <br/>*COAT TYPE: curly low shedding Poodle coat. He will need regular brushing and grooming to prevent his coat from matting. You should be prepared to have him groomed regularly (every 8-10 weeks) with an estimated cost of $120/groom.<br/> <br/>*ENERGY LEVEL: High happy energy! This guy always seems to be moving which means he might even be "under foot" at times...Waylon is a Velcro dog who wants to be a part of it all and have his humans in sight! He does not like to be outside alone so you should be prepared to walk him or be outside with him when he is out.<br/> <br/>*DOGS: Waylon would do better as an only dog. His foster family has three dogs and he can be "growly" at times, especially when he is near a human and the other dogs want to come near. He does play appropriately with his foster brother and sisters when they are in the yard and human attention is not focused on the dogs. <br/> <br/>*CATS: Unknown, but we think we would do best in a home without cats as he prefers to be the center of attention.<br/> <br/>*KIDS: Yes. Older and/or dog-savvy children would be best as Waylon is large and could knock little children over with his size. He lived with smaller kids in his previous home; he is an active guy.<br/> <br/>*CAR: Waylon does great in the car and loves to go for rides. He likes when the windows are down, and doesn't bark as he watches the world go by.<br/> <br/>*CRATE: Yes! Waylon is crate trained and willingly goes inside for eating and down time. He has been sleeping in his crate in his foster home. He has been crated for up to 6 hours at a time with no issues and sits quietly.<br/> <br/>*HOUSE TRAINED: Yes! He wants his humans to go outside with him when he goes to potty. He LOVES his people near even when he wants to potty.<br/> <br/>*LEASH: Waylon would thrive learning more leash manners. He likes to pull but also really wants to be a good dog. <br/><br/>*AT THE VET: Waylon went to the vet's office to get his microchip scanned & to get his weight. He was friendly and loved the ladies! He was shy with the male staff but allowed the vet to check him over. <br/> <br/>*AT THE GROOMER: His previous owner stated he was calm at the groomer.<br/> <br/>Wonderful Waylon is an almost 3 year old Goldendoodle who weighs 60 lbs; he was surrendered to IDOG by his owner who loved him very much but wasn’t able to provide him with the amount of exercise and activity he needed. Waylon is a happy guy who is very sweet, loving, energetic, and playful! He is a true Velcro dog and loves everyone and wants to be right near you even when he goes to potty outside.<br/> <br/>Waylon would do best in a home where his people are active. He loves to be next to his people. He needs play time and exercise to burn his energy. Waylon is shy when first meeting men but will warm up and be friendly if given the chance. He just wants to be a part of it all!<br/> <br/>Waylon needs to work on some manners. He will thrive in a home that would be willing to work on them and re-enforce the rules. He loves playing in the yard and exploring. He needs good outlets including lots of playtime, daily walks, and positive training.<br/> <br/>Waylon is a true Velcro dog and will be extremely attached to a family who is willing to give him all the love and attention. He will thrive with good boundaries and training to help him be the very best boy around! He is in constant motion and lays down and relaxes if his humans do.<br/> <br/>Waylon loves to chew on toys--especially the soft kind that he can take apart. No squeaker is safe when this guy is around! He sometimes does not want to give them up his toys and may growl if another dog tries to take it away from him. He may not want to give up a favorite toy and guard it so it is best to trade him a higher-value treat when he has a toy he shouldn’t.<br/> <br/>We think Waylon would be happiest as an only dog so he will have his people all to himself! Waylon's people will need to be active and will give him the attention and engagement he needs. He loves human attention and wants to be close to you most of the time. If he could play with his humans outside all day, he would be the happiest guy around.<br/> <br/>We think the ideal type of home for Waylon is:<br/>-active family who will ensure his exercise needs are met<br/>-yard and fence to help him burn some energy<br/>-kids 12+<br/>-only dog<br/>-family where someone is home frequently to engage with him<br/>-family that will work with him and will socialize him with other dogs<br/> <br/>Adjectives that describe Waylon:<br/>*Friendly<br/>*Shy (when first meeting men)<br/>*Curious<br/>*Silly<br/>*Loves Attention<br/>*Energetic<br/>*Playful<br/>*Strong<br/>*Funny<br/>*Goofy<br/>*Snuggly<br/>*Affectionate<br/> <br/>Activities that Waylon enjoys:<br/>-Chew toys (Foster home has "Tuff" toys as he will likely destroy most toys so needs to be supervised)<br/>-Squeaky toys<br/>-Fetch<br/>-Walking<br/>-Cuddling<br/> <br/>A few ‘needs work’ items for Waylon:<br/>Waylon would thrive in a home with good boundaries and basic training. He needs to be able to expel his energy through play, walks, and exercise.<br/>-continued help walking on leash without pulling<br/>-re-enforcing basic commands like sit, down, stay<br/>-help learning not to growl or react when other dogs seek attention from people<br/><br/>Waylon is neutered, house trained, microchipped, current on core vaccines, dewormer, and heartworm/flea tick preventives. He is heartworm and fecal negative.<br/> <br/>ADOPTION FEE: $575<br/> <br/>ADOPTION FEE EXPLANATION:<br/>Puppies & highly adoptable dogs have a higher adoption fee to help IDOG cover the vetting & expenses of the other dogs in IDOG whose adoption fees do not cover their expenses. Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.<br/> <br/>TO APPLY FOR Waylon-North Carolina, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE at https://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application
