About Wolf

Wolf is nothing like his wild namesake—he’s a mild-mannered, gentle pup with manners beyond his age. He does have a playful streak and likes to roughhouse when the mood strikes, but most of the time, Wolf would rather show off his cuddly personality or sprawl out for a good belly rub. Chewing a bone until he nods off seems to be his idea of a perfect afternoon. He’s making solid progress with leash training and has started to learn his sit command. He isn’t house trained just yet, but he’s young and picking up new skills quickly. Wolf is looking for a foster home right now, with all supplies, food, and veterinary care covered. If you choose to adopt, the commitment becomes official after his neuter procedure. He’s a classic all-American mixed breed with Boxer and Labrador in the mix, and possibly some pit and hound, sporting a short black and cream coat. Wolf is currently in Morganton, NC, and the rescue prefers adopters within about a 75-mile drive. Start your journey together! Apply now.
