Story
Howdy everyone! We would like to formally introduce you to a dear dog friend of ours named Wondo. Wondo is a sweet and affectionate boy who loves pets from the people he trusts. He really enjoys treats (hot dogs are a fan favorite), playing with squeaky toys, and enjoys spending time outside immersed in nature. Wondo was quite nervous coming into our shelter, and has been anxious while in the shelter, so we recommend working with a vet or behaviorist to manage his stress in the home. He will need to go to a calm home with adopters who are willing to work with him to become more confident in this world. He will require patience, training, and time to manage the big feelings that he has, and would appreciate grace and compassion while he navigates the transition into a new home. At present, Wondo would do best in a home without small children so that his boundaries can be continuously respected while he adjusts. He has been loose and wiggly when meeting other canine friends in the shelter, and may do well in a home with another dog who matches his energy. That being said he will need time to decompress from the shelter before meeting his new dog friends. He is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who just needs the right people and environment to become the best version of himself. If you are willing to work with him and provide the support he needs while moving through life, he will reward you by being the most loving companion you could`ve asked for. **Wondo is eligible for a training scholarship through GoodPup, so be sure to ask your adoptions counselor about this when you meet!**Medical History: Wondo will need regular grooming and fur maintenance to keep his coat healthy. Wondo is also suspected to have generalized anxiety. Otherwise, he appears to be a healthy adult, but it`s always a good idea to set up an appointment with the vet soon after adoption so they can meet each other!
