About dogs named Waylon

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Waylon from our database of 131 dogs with the name Waylon.

• “Hi, I'm Waylon! I have zero recall and I need fences. I love people and other dogs when none of us are leashed, hence the Sniffspot joy! I go to daycare almost daily and love being there. I hate cats and I'm pretty sure they're snacks, so please just keep them away from me! I don't chew or destroy things, and I'm a pretty independent boy. My parents are childfree by choice which means I'm spoiled AF. Follow me on Instagram @waylon_thehound Come say hi if you see me--me and my parents are friendly!“

  — Tara, Justin, and Waylon P.

• “I’m Waylon! I’m 3 years old and love to run and play. My favorite thing is to play with my mom at a private dog park so my mom doesn’t have too much anxiety about other dogs! 😅“

  — Caitlin B.

• “I’m so excited to be here!!! EVERYWHERE!! Love to meet everyone! I am a purebred Olde English Bulldogge.“

  — Tammy N.

• “Waylon is a happy-go-lucky, but timid guy. He is thrilled to just be doing anything with people, especially playing frisbee! He has been attacked by off-leash dogs and cannot see other dogs without panicking.“

  — Tiffany B.

• “Waylon is a Doberman/pit mix who is nothing but LOVE. The boy loves people, and is always open to meeting new dogs. He’s a playful boy who’s all about attention.“

  — Claire W.

• “He does not know how big he actually is. Tries to be a lap dog so bad. He is a giant goofy boy who loves to chew any cardboard box he can find.“

  — cyndill s.

• “I'm a big goof, scared of random things but I'm working on it! I like to go to day care and play with my friends. I don't like a lot of new humans, I would rather they hang at a distance than try to pet me. My favorite human is my mom, I love her the most. I love my dad too, but he's the spare human in our household.“

  — Melanie P.

• “I love to sniff around and chase after my favorite ball! My mom and dad want me to be an off leash dog so I had to go to 3 weeks of boot camp.“

  — Alaina S.

• “Hey ! I’m Waylon James. You can call me Way J. I love to sniff , eat and sleep. I’m a cuddly bear.“

  — Stacey H.

• “I’m Waylon, a 4 yr old German Shepherd from Iowa. I was born on a dairy farm in Melbourne Iowa to two hard working parents. I love to bark at passersby and the hair stands up on my neck, but it’s all a show. I’d never bite anybody. Over a months time in the summer, I will have shed enough hair to create another me, so I get brushed daily. To be honest, I don’t mind it. Feels good.“

  — Chris M.

• “Waylon is a predominantly German Shepard mix from streets of Mexico that we have rescued when he was 8 months old. He is people reactive which comes out as barking and growling when a new person comes into his sight.“

  — Lochlan E.

• “Hi, I’m Waylon! I’m a 5 year old Rottweiler who is better known as a couch potato! I love all humans and most dogs. I used to be a show dog but retired from that and now I do obedience and rally. My all time favorite activity is swimming! I’m a good boy!“

  — Courtney R.

• “Hi I’m Waylon ! I’m a big pup at 90 lbs at 7 months, I’m a yellow lab/mastiff mix and I’m a certified Big Clutz. My body’s still a little bigger then I think it is so I tend to trip over myself. I love to play. I love all animals and people. I’m still learning not to jump up on people because I knock them over. But I just want to give kisses to everybody I see I can’t help myself. My brother isn’t the most social but I make up for that. I’m just glad we get along and get to play with each other and snuggle. I think I’m part beaver. And love to swim and jump into the water. It’s hard for mom and dad to get me out to dry off to get back in the car. But we manage.“

  — Sarah W.

• “Hi I’m Waylon! I’m just under 1 year old and have the energy to match. Running, digging, and chew toys are all my favorite things. My mom rescued me from the SPCA when I was 4 months old and we aren’t too sure what my first few months of life were like before that. I am a mix of Australian cattle dog, pitbull, poodle, and corgi according to my DNA test.“

  — Taylor S.

• “Hi I’m Waylon! I’m a 1.5 year old chocolate lab who loves his mama! I love to run, chase, play tug of war, dig. I have a big heart and love everyone, I have lots of energy to get out.“

  — Kailah M.
