Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sweet boy Wiley!
This 12 month old pup is SUPER sweet!! He loves everyone! He's good with kids and other friendly dogs. Cats are unknown so we're recommending no cats just because of his breed and he may chase!
Wiley's mom is a Norwegian Elkhound... his dad was the area's free roaming Rat Terrier mix. We assume because of his small size dad was small! Thankfully the owner allowed us to spay mom and they decided to keep her.
Wiley is around 20 pounds. We know the pictures make him look bigger but he's not. His foster mom carries him around one handed with ease! He's a silly, playful boy who just wants to be with his people! Wiley, like his name sake can be an escape artist and will try to escape any breach in fencing so he does require secure physical fencing! He unfortunately was born under a barn and never had boundaries and as you all know ..that's NOT a good thing! Just like his dad he WILL roam if given the chance!
Wiley would do fantastic in a home with children! He loves children and does very well with dog savvy, respectful children! ❤ When he's tired he will snuggle right up in your lap or right next to you! Preferably in your lap! Wiley is crate trained. He's crated at night & while foster family is not home and does well. Although he wouldn't protest sleeping with any humans! He likes to be with his people!
Wiley is housebroken too! Bonus!! He will excited piddle occasionally but only if he hasn't been out for awhile and his bladder is full! He's a great little pup who just wants to be loved! ❤
Here's a note from his foster mom:
We absolutely adore this little guy! He is such a love! His sweet & silly personality makes him the perfect little companion for just about any family looking for a smaller dog!
Wiley is fully vetted including his neuter, age appropriate vaccines, rabies, bordetella, de-wormed, flea & tick treated, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped
We adopt within a 4-hour radius of Toledo,OH
Our adoption fee is $400
Note: We DO require a secure physically fenced yard for Wiley!
