My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Wrigley!

My name is Wrigley, and I was born on 10/20/2024 in Texas with my eight siblings! I am one of the 6 girls in the litter. Right now, I’m about 13 weeks old and weigh 7.2lbs. My papers say I’m a Terrier/Pit mix, but me and my siblings are a small colorful bunch, so it’s anyone’s guess!

I am the shyest and most reserved of my siblings. I love trying new things, but it does take me a minute to get comfortable with them sometimes. I was scared to go outside for the first time, but now I’m pretty good at it. I was scared to go on my first walk, but I’m learning that it can be fun (even if my foster mom has to carry me part way). If I see my siblings or foster parents doing things first, I have a much easier time trying something new! I’m learning quickly that things are fun and not going to hurt me, but it’s taking me some time. Sometimes I do get bursts of energy and will play a little rough with my brothers and sisters, but I’m mostly a calm puppy that just likes affection. I’m a big fan of sitting in someone’s lap and getting all the pets I can.

I’ve been busy at my foster home with all my brothers and sisters and my two foster siblings. I do great with the large, adult dogs that live here and have liked every other big dog I’ve met on walks so far. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I think I would like them too, even if they don’t appreciate my puppy curiosity. There is a 12-year-old boy that lives here; I get so excited to play with him and love every kid I have met so far! I haven’t met any really young children yet, but if you watch my excitement around them, I should be just fine.

Due to my age, I haven’t mastered walking on a leash yet, and I’m learning that outside can be fun. Also due to my age, I haven’t been potty trained yet, but I do try my hardest to use my pee pads. I’ve been working to learn to sit and haven’t had issues with using my teeth the wrong way, and I will continue trying my hardest! I would much rather give kisses than bite. I haven’t been completely left home alone yet, as I have my brothers and sisters with me. That may take me a little time to get used to, but I don’t think crate training will be an issue for me. I take corrections very well and should learn quickly with my new family.
I’m having so much fun and learning so much every day, but I can’t wait to meet my new family!
