Meet Wheezy! This four-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart is as devoted and affectionate as they come, with a personality as big as her snowy white coat and golden patches. Her striking icy blue eyes hint at the pure joy she'll bring to your life. Wheezy is a loyal, cuddly, and playful companion who thrives on connection. When she's happy, she lets out little "wheezes" and "oinks" of pure contentment, much 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 not comfortable sharing her space. She would do best with an experienced adopter in a quiet, pet-free home. She is not currently compatible with homes with young children.
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, and with that support, she does well.
Training & Support
Wheezy is remarkably intelligent and responsive. She is fully house-trained, knows several commands including sit, shake, place, free, and wait, and learns new skills quickly. She is gentle and enthusiastic during play and responds immediately when asked to calm down. While she used to react strongly to dogs across the street, she has made meaningful progress on leash and can now pass them with only a brief fluff and grumble before moving on. With new people, Wheezy typically needs about 10 to 15 minutes to warm up and may bark or seem unsure at first. Offering a bit of wet food helps her feel comfortable quickly.
