About Wiggles

Wiggles is a striking young boy with a unique mix of golden and brown coloring that's sure to turn heads. Currently feeling overwhelmed in the shelter, he's holding back his playful personality, waiting for the right home to help him blossom. Initially shy with new people, he warms up quickly with a little patience. Wiggles is a bit head shy, making it important for his future adopter to be gentle and supportive as he learns to trust. He enjoys his walks around the shelter, eagerly sniffing and exploring his environment. Wiggles has shown curiosity towards other dogs but becomes more relaxed and playful once he gets comfortable with them. He's had peaceful coexistence with doggy friends and tends to ignore cats. Given his timid nature, he may prefer a quieter home without small children. Wiggles's adoption fee is $150, which covers his neutering, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing, and a free wellness exam. Ready to see the wiggles? Apply today!
