About Payton

Payton is a joyful boy who was found as a stray in a small Texas town. Luckily, a kind lady took him in and got him checked out at the vet, where he was determined to be healthy and estimated to be under a year old. Weighing in at just 32 lbs, he’s the perfect size for smaller homes or apartments, especially since he rarely barks. As he acclimates to life as a house dog, Payton is making strides with leash walking and potty training. His foster mom has nothing but praises for this well-behaved boy. With a stunning smile and an affectionate personality, he gets along well with all the other dogs and people he meets. He is ready for his forever home, whether locally in Texas or in Washington, with transport covered by the rescue. Payton is current on vaccinations but will need to be neutered before adoption, which is included in the adoption fee. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
