Wendel’s journey from the brink is remarkable. In June 2021, he was picked up in terrible shape—emaciated and wounded, dealing with parasites and heartworms. He beat every hurdle, a testament to both his resilience and grit. Now, Wendel weighs in strong, his short black and white coat healthy, and his tail never stops wagging. He’s got energy to spare, always ready for play, and quick to dole out affectionate kisses. People can count on him for enthusiastic greetings, a playful spirit, and a loving nature. He gravitates toward chew toys and melts when petted, happy to sit for as long as he can feel a hand on his fur. He’s learning basic commands, but still needs guidance—especially from a family committed to daily walks, training, and lots of playtime in a securely fenced yard. Wendel isn’t yet house trained, but he does get along well with other dogs and would fit into a home with older children who understand what it means to care for a lively, loving dog. Because he requires a fenced yard, adoption is limited to local applicants. And being born June 14, he’s a Gemini—friendly, social, and always ready for something new.
