Meet Wiley! Wiley is an approximately five-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing around 17 pounds. He is a shy sweetheart who is initially very nervous and avoidant with new people. Wiley has spent some time in a foster home and is doing amazing so far in a home setting, with a little time and patience. His foster mom says Wiley loves cuddling up in blankets and has even joined them for some cuddles in bed, recently. Wiley was humanely trapped while spotted as a stray, and he avoided the trap for a bit until he was brought to safety off the streets. He is a sensitive soul that warms up quickly and makes every little bit of affection that much sweeter.
Ideal Home
Wiley would do best in a relatively quiet home with no children and at least one other dog to show him the ropes. He thrives with routine, and as a part of a pack! Wiley needs a home setting (no apartments) with a secure fence/backyard and grass area, so his special paw doesn't get hurt on gravel.
Ongoing Health
Wiley has a chronic condition with his back leg due to an old injury that healed wrong. He has adapted well to walking with this condition. Specialists believe he has nerve damage and that surgery to attempt a repair would not be successful. The current recommendation is to leave the leg as-is, but amputation may be required down the road if it starts to bother him. His future family should be aware of this possibility and willing to provide Wiley with any necessary medical treatment. Wiley is neutered, has a microchip, and is current on vaccines.
