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. When she's soaking up affection, she lets out little wheezes and oinks of pure contentment, like a happy little piglet!
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. She would do best with an experienced adopter in a quiet, pet-free home. She is not currently compatible with homes with young children.
Ongoing Health
Wheezy receives Venlafaxine to help manage stress and reactivity, and it's been very beneficial for her. She also follows a special diet to manage food sensitivities, which helps her feel her best. Vet visits require some preparation and pre-visit medication, and with that support, she does well.
Training & Support
Wheezy is fully house-trained and knows several commands including sit, shake, place, free, and wait. She learns new skills quickly and is responsive when asked to calm down. While she used to react strongly to dogs across the street, she has made meaningful progress on leash and can now pass them 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.
