Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Don't be scared off by his name. They say dogs evolve into what their name means. So we hope that Wolf grows into a stronger, more confident dog as he's had a rough start to life. He and his three siblings were surrendered to a very high kill shelter in Texas. His two lab sisters were rescued and he was left alone, petrified and hiding in his kennel with his shepherd mix brother. We tagged them both but then, tragedy struck. Wolf's brother died during surgery (the shelter requires they be altered before leaving). Wolf was now all alone in this big, scary world. He was transported ASAP to me here in Michigan, where I have spent the past four months teaching him all about life outside a small, San Antonio back yard. He had never been inside a house before, even the noise from the refrigerator scared him. It became obvious that Wolf was much more comfortable outside but, due to his skiddish and fearful nature, he needs a fenced yard and to live inside with his new family. He will bond more better, more quickly, and his chances of getting lost will be drastically reduced. After having Wolf for a couple months, I introduced him to some new dogs and he really gets along well and enjoys playing with them. I think he misses his family so much and that brings back good memories for him. He is the most happiest I've ever seen him when he has a playmate to run and play, and romp in the yard with. Wolf is one of the most submissive dogs I have ever met, with people and other animals. He seems to be the type of dog who would allow small children to pull on his ears and bite his tail without recourse (not that we recommend allowing children to do that of course but, Wolf seems to have the temperament to put up with it!). Wolf's previous owner wasn't too nice to him. It appears that his ear flaps were literally CUT short with a dull pair of scissors or knife, because the edges are rough and puffy. Although they are all healed and don't appear to bother him at all, I'm sure it was extremely painful when it happened. Despite being so afraid, Wolf is a sweet, smart, laid back gentlemen with extremely good house manners. He is crate trained, comes when called, respects fences, and walks well on a leash. If you would like to consider adding Wolf to your family and provide him a forever and better life than before, please contact me for more information. NO TEXT MESSAGES PLEASE!
