Meet Wheezy! This four-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart is as beautiful as she is loving, with a snowy white coat, golden patches, and striking icy blue eyes. Wheezy is a devoted, affectionate, loyal, cuddly, and playful companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She lets out little wheezes and oinks of pure contentment when she's soaking up affection, a sound that's impossible not to smile at!
Ideal Home
Wheezy would thrive as the only pet in the home, as she is reactive toward other animals and isn't comfortable sharing her space. In a pet-free environment, she can relax and show her best qualities: affectionate, playful, and deeply devoted. She would do best with an experienced adopter in a quiet home. She is not currently compatible with homes with young children.
Ongoing Health
Wheezy receives Venlafaxine to help manage stress and reactivity, which has been very beneficial for her. She also follows a special diet to manage food sensitivities. Vet visits require some preparation and pre-visit medication, and with that support, she does well.
Training & Support
Wheezy is remarkably intelligent and responsive. She's fully house-trained, knows several commands including sit, shake, place, free, and wait, and learns new skills quickly. During play, she brings joyful enthusiasm while staying gentle, and she responds immediately when asked to calm down. She has made meaningful progress on leash reactivity and can now pass other dogs with only a brief fluff and grumble before moving on. With new people, Wheezy typically needs about 10 to 15 minutes to warm up. She may bark or seem unsure at first, but offering a bit of wet food helps her feel comfortable quickly.
