About Wiggles

Wiggles arrived after his previous family surrendered him due to his intense fixation on anything with wheels. At around 20 pounds, this small dog has a big personality: bold, strong for his size, and completely himself. He’s slow to trust new people, but a patient adopter will find that, once he feels safe, Wiggles is content sticking close by. He lights up for car rides. Wiggles has some clear preferences. He needs to be the only dog in your home and isn’t good with cats or livestock. A solid, well-fenced yard is a must—he’ll look for ways to bolt given half a chance. He deals with separation anxiety and will make his feelings known, so he needs a home where people are often around or prepared to work with him on that. On the practical side, he seems potty trained. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative, and taking preventatives. Wiggles still has so much to give the right person who understands him. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
