Let's talk about Wilson! This handsome 19-month-old gentleman might not be a Ridgeback mix as initially thought, but he certainly has the elegant build of a sighthound! With his tall, lean, and streamlined figure, he's a sight to behold, though he could afford to gain a few pounds from his current 63 lbs. Wilson has incredibly keen vision and will alert you to things you might miss! He's a perfect house guest, with no accidents and is happy to settle in his crate when needed. His barks at the door are polite and appropriate when someone arrives – a very good boy! Wilson is a smart and curious soul who enjoys figuring out new situations. While he seemed to know no commands when he arrived, he's quickly learned a few in foster care.
Wilson is a very fun and sweet boy who loves to be close and receive affection. He meets new dogs with ease and is well-liked by canines of all temperaments, easily acclimating to new doggy social circles. He's an easygoing companion and would likely thrive with a canine sibling! Wilson can be a little hesitant with new people at first until he's had a chance to warm up, but once he decides they're "good guys," he's all in. He should do well with respectful children and would likely be fine with cats given a proper introduction. Wilson is a sensitive boy, which can make him a bit aloof, sometimes worried, and a tad flighty. New sights and sounds can be distracting and cause anxiety until he understands them. He'll need a watchful eye and a secure yard until he's fully settled with his new family. But give him plenty of belly rubs and a chance to rest his head on your lap, and he will absolutely adore you!
