About Wilder

Meet Wilder! This handsome boy is a Husky/Shepherd mix, around 2-3 years old. We found him at a shelter, labeled as a high-risk dog due to his fearful demeanor. He spent too long cowering in a concrete kennel, trembling in fear. Upon rescue, Wilder quickly started to flourish in a foster home. Now, he’s a very dog-friendly soul who enjoys the company of his furry pals. Wilder has become leash trained, crate trained, and is fully house trained. He loves having a fenced yard where he can play fetch and zoom around. Although he’s an active dog, he balances it with a chill side, happily joining you for walks or hikes before settling down for a cozy nap on the couch. Wilder doesn’t get along with cats and would prefer a home without small animals due to his toy motivation. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and recently completed his heartworm treatment, making him ready for adoption. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
