Wilson's Story

🚨 Looking for Rescue or the Right Adopter for Wilson 🚨<br/>Meet Wilson—a handsome little terrier mix with a big personality and a whole lot of heart 💙<br/>He’s full of life and, while he’s not a fan of cold weather, he’s being a trooper during potty breaks.<br/>Wilson was returned last week for:<br/>having accidents in the house<br/>not listening<br/>having “too much energy”<br/>(He is a terrier mix… so yes, energy comes standard 😉)<br/>Please keep in mind: new dogs need patience, structure, and understanding while adjusting to a new home.<br/>Wilson was reported to be potty trained by his original owner. Accidents after a move are very common during transition periods. He is crate trained and does best with a consistent routine.<br/>Important background:<br/>Wilson’s original surrender happened after his owner became pregnant, as he became protective of his person.<br/>Because of this, we believe Wilson would thrive best in:<br/>a home with no other dogs<br/>no small children<br/>an adopter who understands resource guarding of his person and is willing to manage it appropriately<br/>🐾 Cat testing has not been done.<br/>Health notes:<br/>Wilson has been seen by a vet in the past for skin irritation, which may be food-related. A bag of his food was brought in today and can go home with an adopter or rescue. (He’s been eating the shelter food with no issues noted.)<br/>The good stuff:<br/>✨ About 15 pounds<br/>✨ Loves toys<br/>✨ Bonds closely with his person<br/>✨ A total sweetheart once he feels safe<br/>We truly do not want to see Wilson fail again. He deserves a home that understands him and gives him the stability he needs to shine 🌟<br/>If you think Wilson may be the perfect match for you—or your rescue—please:<br/>📞 Call 804-520-9397 ext. 5<br/>💬 Or send us a message<br/>Let’s help Wilson find his forever person 🐶❤️
