About Waylon

Waylon’s story is hard to ignore. At 3 1/2 years old, this golden retriever came to rescue in rough shape. Diabetes had gone untreated, leaving him with skin problems and fading eyesight. When he first arrived, Waylon moved with the slow shuffle of a much older dog, a reminder of how much he’d endured. Now, with steady medical care to get him started on insulin and help his skin, he’s set to start turning things around. Waylon gets along well with other dogs and is looking for someone patient enough to help him regain strength and stability for the next chapter of his life. He isn’t house trained yet and will need an adopter with commitment to his lifelong care. Ready to offer him a gentle landing? Click apply to start the adoption process.
