Wilbur Beagle & English Pointer Mix Watertown, CT

Wilbur is a sweet 5 month old puppy and he is very much ready for a home of his home. He is snuggly, smart, and eager to please. He gets along very well with other dogs, has never met a stranger, and we honestly think he is pretty much perfect. During a routine exam our vet noticed that he had a heart murmur. After further testing it was determined that the murmur is a congenital defect and the symptoms can be managed with daily medication. He currently takes pimobendan twice a day and is doing well, but his condition will likely result in a shortened life expectancy. Wilbur feels fine now and would like nothing more than to be in a home of his own being loved and doing normal puppy things, and we want that for him very much. We know it will take some special people to adopt a pup with a condition like this, but we know his family is out there and we know he deserves the very best. If you think you might be the home for this very special pup, we would love to answer your questions and tell you more about Wilbur.

Wilbur is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.

The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.

More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.

If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.
