Oh, gather round and meet Wendel – a little dog with a BIG story that will tug at your heartstrings! ❤️ This resilient guy was discovered in June, left on the side of the road, battling more challenges than any pup should face. He was emaciated, covered in ticks, with open wounds and a swollen head. His journey to recovery hasn’t been easy; he even had to conquer heartworms before he could really thrive. But guess what? He fought through it all and emerged stronger, healthier, and even gained nearly 10 pounds! Now, he’s radiating joy and ready for a loving home! Wendel is not just a survivor; he’s a beacon of light! 🌟 With his perpetually wagging tail, this little charmer is bursting with excitement and joy. Whether you're coming home or just passing by, Wendel is there to greet you with warmth and enthusiasm. You can’t help but smile as he eagerly gives kisses, spreading his love like confetti! 😘 Just be ready for his high-energy antics! This energetic pup is seeking a family that can keep up with his playful spirit and show him the ropes with some basic commands like learning to ‘sit.’ Wendel needs a fenced yard to frolic and play, and he’ll thrive in a home filled with laughter and fun – ideally with older kids who understand how to care for a dog. He gets along well with other dogs, making him the perfect addition to an active family! 🏃‍♂️ With a birthdate of June 14, 2021, Wendel is a spirited Gemini! Did you know? Geminis are known for their enthusiasm and eagerness to connect with others – which makes sense for our lovable Wendel! And with about 48 pounds of energy, he’s just waiting to find a family to call his own. In the words of his foster, Wendel truly lights up the room. 🏡 So why wait? If this joyful spirit has captivated your heart, don't hesitate! ✨**Apply to adopt Wendel through the Buddy App** and give this lovebug the forever home he deserves!
