Smiley Wiley The Hugging Smile Machine

Meet Smiley Wiley, a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing around 65 lbs, who is as handsome and affectionate as they come! Wiley is a dog who truly embodies loyalty and a spirit for adventure, always ready for whatever life throws his way, and then perfectly content to relax by your side. He's a showstopper with a personality to match, and he's known for his incredible "bear hugs" that are sure to brighten any day.

Ideal Home

Wiley would do best in a home with someone experienced with German Shepherds, who appreciates their fun-loving and loyal nature. He thrives with confident leadership and structure. While he enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well with a playful, confident female dog, he is not a good fit for homes with cats. He is good with children and generally prefers the company of older kids (15+) who can understand and respect his need for space. He would love a big backyard to explore and a family that enjoys an active lifestyle, including hikes and running.

Ongoing Health

No specific ongoing health conditions were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Wiley is a smart boy who responds well to training and is very treat-motivated. He already knows commands like sit, down, and wait, and is eager to please, making eye contact readily during training sessions. He has a good understanding of when playtime is an outside activity and is content to settle indoors with his toys. A confident, resident dog would be beneficial in helping Wiley build confidence in new situations.
