Meet Wilson! This adorable young Terrier/Chi mix pup came into rescue after living with an elderly owner who was no longer able to properly care for him. Wilson is now safe in foster care and looking for an active forever family that can keep up with his zest for life. Wilson is everything people love about puppies - playful, curious, affectionate, and full of personality. He approaches every day with enthusiasm and excitement and is always ready for his next adventure. His foster mom describes him as incredibly smart, very entertaining, and definitely a bit of a handful in the way that only adolescent puppies can be.
Ideal Home
Wilson is a high-energy pup who loves to play, explore, and stay busy. He would thrive in a home with another young, playful dog who can help burn off some of that energy. He loves canine companionship and would enjoy having a buddy to wrestle, chase, and play with. As Wilson is still learning what belongs to him and what doesn't, he needs adopters who understand puppy behavior and are ready to provide structure, training, and plenty of opportunities for play.
Ongoing Health
Wilson is up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped.
Training & Support
Wilson is making good progress with housetraining and has shown significant improvement with excited or submissive urination in foster care. He is crate-trained and keeps his crate clean when his foster parents are out of the home. He may protest for a few minutes when first crated but settles down quickly. On walks, Wilson is generally well-behaved but can be a little unsure when meeting new dogs and may need a moment to warm up. He is very smart and responds well to correction and guidance, which will help him with his tendency to chew on household items when unsupervised.
