Calling all Shepherd lovers! Get ready to roll out the red carpet for Smiley Wiley, a handsome and fluffy boy with a personality as amazing as his looks. Wiley is approximately 1 year old and weighs 65 lbs. While we believe he's a German Shepherd mix, his exact breed isn't guaranteed. He's athletic, loyal, and ready for any adventure you throw his way, then happy to relax by your side.
Wiley's signature move is his incredible hugs – he's a true "hugging smile machine" and is guaranteed to brighten your day with his affectionate embraces. He's also a social butterfly with other dogs, enjoying playful wrestling and chase games. He would do best in a home with a confident, playful female dog who appreciates both active play and quiet cuddles.
Ideal Home
Smiley Wiley would thrive in a home with a big backyard for him to explore and bask in the sun. A semi-active family who enjoys hikes and can also appreciate a good cuddle session would be a great match. He would do best with older children, ages 15 and up, who understand his need for space and can engage in thoughtful play. While he enjoys younger children visiting, he prefers a calmer everyday environment. Wiley is not a fan of cats.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in his description.
Training & Support
Wiley responds incredibly well to confident leadership and structure. He's a smart boy who already knows commands like sit, down, and wait, and is very treat motivated, though he'll listen even without a reward. He makes great eye contact and loves to please, making him a joy to train. A confident resident dog will help Wiley build his confidence in new situations.
