Hi, I’m Waylon 1-2yr old Border Collie mix. Aren’t I a handsome fellow with my beautiful soft black coat, and amber eyes?

I previously had a home where I lived mostly outside. My family was moving and planned to leave me behind. I was always hungry cause I didn’t get food daily. The gate to the yard was open and I was able to get to the neighbors house for food. The resident dog attacked me as I was eating, and I had some severe wounds including part of my tongue gone. My family said they didn’t want me, so the nice neighbor lady contacted animal control to come and get me. They contacted Mo-Kan for rescue and eventually taken to the vet where I had surgery on my leg, and got the care I desperately needed. A few days later I got to fly in an airplane to my foster family!! Wow, these people are awesome!!

I am loving life in my foster home with my 2 resident BC sisters. I am trying my hardest to get them to play with me, very respectful of their space if they give me correction. I love to run in the backyard when they play ball, trying to learn how all that works. I am indifferent to cats.

My foster mom takes us on walks daily, and says I have wonderful leash manners! We took a long hike in the woods today, so many smells and things to see, I loved it!! Hope we can go again soon.

I have good house manners, am housebroken, and sleep on the floor by my foster mom’s side of the bed. I stay in the laundry room or kennel when no one is home. I am chill in the house, and love hanging out with my foster family, never far from my foster mom. Life inside a house is wonderful and not so scary. I am learning that paws on the counter or chewing on furniture is not acceptable behavior, I take correction well.

I am learning about toys too, we have a whole basket full of stuffies and bones, of course I share with my resident sisters. I know “look, sit, shake, and down”. I love to learn cause I get yummy treats, my foster mom says I can learn anything!!

I happily accepted my first shower and nail trim by my mom, and now my coat is soft and shiny, I feel so much better. She tells me now that I am getting good food daily, I will gain weight and my coat will look even better!!

I love all dogs and humans, I can be a little shy with the humans at first, but everyone I meet is so kind to me!! I met the grandchildren today and loved them, they were gentle and gave me lots of wonderful pets, hugs, and belly rubs. I am a little more shy of men, some are a little scary, but give me time to adjust, I will give kisses.

My mom thinks I could adapt to any type of home, someone that will give me daily exercise, and lots of loving attention. Could that be you? If you are interested in meeting me, please fill out an adoption application!!

Love, Waylon

Waylon is being fostered in the Kansas City area.
