Wiley lives up to his name: this Chihuahua/Terrier mix knows how to keep people guessing. At around five years old and about 17 pounds, he’s quick to retreat when new folks approach but has a gentle side once he settles in. Wiley found comfort in his foster home, responding well to a low-key routine and the companionship of another dog. He prefers quiet spaces and definitely needs a house with a secure grassy yard—he favors sunbathing outside and needs the grass for his sensitive paw. His leg, injured long ago and healed on its own, sometimes makes him move in unexpected ways, but he has adapted. Specialists say surgery won’t help, but future care—including the possibility of amputation—might be needed if the leg ever starts causing problems. Wiley isn’t suited to homes with children, but he thrives as part of a dog pack. He doesn’t get along with cats. He’s happiest when snuggled in blankets or quietly relaxing nearby, and his foster calls him a sensitive soul who values patience and gentle affection. Wiley is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. A home check will be required. Give this shy guy a chance, and you’ll see how much he appreciates every bit of kindness. Ready to fall in love?
