Meet Wheezy! This devoted, affectionate four-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart is a true gem. With her snowy white coat, golden patches, and striking icy blue eyes, she’s as beautiful as she is loving! Wheezy is a loyal, cuddly, and playful companion who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She loves to snuggle on the couch and her favorite activity is gentle but enthusiastic roughhousing with her favorite humans. When she’s soaking up affection, she lets out little wheezes and oinks of pure contentment, like a happy little piglet – it's impossible not to smile!
Ideal Home
Wheezy would thrive as the only pet in the home. She is reactive toward other animals and isn’t comfortable sharing her space. She is not currently compatible with homes with young children. An experienced adopter in a quiet, pet-free home would be ideal.
Ongoing Health
Wheezy receives Venlafaxine to help manage stress and reactivity, which has been very beneficial. She also follows a special diet to manage food sensitivities. Vet visits require some preparation and pre-visit medication, but 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 can now pass them with only a brief fluff and grumble before moving on, and walks have become much more enjoyable with the right precautions. She may bark or seem unsure of new people at first, but offering a bit of wet food helps her feel comfortable quickly.
