About Wilbur

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Personality Plus! Wilbur captures hearts wherever he goes and truly loves people—it’s impossible to resist his charm. If your days could use a little more swagger, sass, and silliness, Wilbur is the perfect companion for you. Wilbur gets along well with other dogs, and the rescue will help with proper introductions if you have pups at home. He is not a fit for homes with cats, as he prefers to chase them a bit too enthusiastically. This playful guy delights in playing with toys, romping in the hose, and is both potty trained and crate trained. Car rides are one of his specialties! Previously, Wilbur faced medical challenges that left him hairless, but with his issues now managed, he’s growing in more fur every day. He will require daily medications and regular vet check-ins for ongoing care of his dry eye, allergies, and thyroid. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
