Meet Wilbur, a 2-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua mix who seems to believe he's actually a cat. Wilbur is a thoughtful observer, preferring to assess his surroundings before jumping in. He believes that friendships are earned and not to be rushed, much like a feline companion.
Having come from a hoarding situation, Wilbur is learning that the world can be a safe and welcoming place, and he's making wonderful progress. He's even comfortable with visitors, sometimes joining them on the couch to quietly supervise and offer a curious sniff, as long as he's not the center of attention and respects personal space.
Wilbur is house-trained, trustworthy when given free roam of the house, and gets along with both cats and dogs. He also enjoys his daily walks. A crucial part of his well-being is having a calm and confident canine companion to help him feel secure and navigate the world. His ideal home would be patient, gentle, and understanding of his need to build trust on his own terms. If children are present, they should be older and dog-savvy, capable of respecting Wilbur's need for space.
Wilbur is a healthy young dog who requires a simple daily routine of eye drops for one eye. He's become quite proficient with this, making it an easy part of his day. If you're seeking a dog who brings a calm presence, quiet loyalty, and a deep emotional connection that blossoms over time, Wilbur might be the perfect addition to your life.
