A year ago, Wilson was sad, injured and alone. Through the hard work of our fosters, he is now ready for a therapeutic home where he will be safe and loved.
Although he is protective of his yard and his food, and doesn’t play well with other dogs, he is a “Velcro” dog who wants to be with his people all the time. He is content to sleep by your feet or on the sofa, accepting pets and belly rubs. He will come and ask for pets, but he is not a lap dog and is sensitive to being touched in the wrong way, we think because of his previous injuries.
Wilson LOVES his walks and his toys, is not destructive in the house, puts himself to bed early, sleeps all night, requires minimal grooming and is 100% house-trained and uses a doggie door. He is trained to sit for a treat when you say "1-2-3" which has helped immensely with his reactivity and has made his walks around the neighborhood enjoyable.
He is a happy, funny and entertaining dog who now needs parents who have experience with a dog that must be managed. He needs someone who will pay attention to his demeanor and understand the cues that he gives when he is stressed. Because of this, we will not adopt to a family with children.
Come and meet Wilson and see if he was meant to be with you!
