Wilbur's Story

Meet Wilbur, the Chihuahua mix who is convinced hes actually a cat. At around 2 years old and 13 pounds, this adorable little guy prefers to observe before participating, and is a firm believer that friendship is something you earn, not something you rush.<br/><br/>After coming from a hoarding situation, Wilbur is still learning that the world can be a safe place and hes already shown a lot of progress. He even does well with visitors and will share the couch, wander over for a curious sniff, and quietly supervise the conversation (as long as no one tries to pet him or make him the center of attention). Think of him as the cat who requires the right vibes to grace you with their presence and judgement.<br/><br/>Aside from his charmingly cat-like personality, Wilbur is pretty close to perfect. Hes house-trained, free roam trustworthy, cat and dog friendly, and loves going for walks. He does need his own emotional support animal, meaning a calm, confident dog to help him navigate the world and remind him that everything is going to be ok. His ideal home is one that is patient, gentle, and willing to let trust unfold on his timeline. If there are kids in the home, they should be dog-savvy or older and able to respect his space.<br/><br/>Wilbur is a healthy young dog with one important routine: daily eye drops in one eye. The good news is that hes a total pro so drops are a breeze. If youre looking for a low-key dog friend who brings calm energy, quiet loyalty, and big emotional payoff over time, Wilbur is ready to become the best part of your day.<br/><br/>Wilbur is in foster in Loveland, Colorado.<br/> <br/>*We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. *<br/> <br/>You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/wilbur<br/> <br/>You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.
