About Wylie

Wylie is a lovable, easy-going companion. Whether he's joining you for a leisurely walk, riding along in the car, or relaxing on the couch beside you - Wylie is just content simply being part of the family. Wylie was originally adopted from us 4 years ago. He has come back to us due to changes in his family's circumstances and no fault of his own.

Ideal Home

Wylie would do well in a home with access to a yard or green space close by. He was temporarily in a foster home in a condominium with an elevator and was very nervous of it, as well as the very busy downtown neighborhood. He gets along well with other pets, if his adopter already has a dog or cat, we will arrange for a meet and greet. He has lived with children before and did well.

Ongoing Health

Wylie has a condition called diabetes insipidus, but managing it is easy with one eye drop daily and Wylie enjoys life just like any other dog. The medication costs $80 a month.

Training & Support

Wylie is house-trained. He does not like loud noises and seeks out a quiet hiding spot during loud noises such as thunderstorms or fireworks. Every now and then, this otherwise laid-back boy gets a burst of excitement and breaks into a joyful sprint that is guaranteed to make you smile! He has not shown any signs of resource guarding, separation anxiety or reactivity. Wylie enjoys his daily walks but is happiest with shorter outings rather than long hikes; but a few extra treats have left him with some fluff around the middle, so longer or more frequent walks would be a good goal for him.
