About Socrates

Meet Socrates! Socrates is a lively Border Terrier mix who came to us from the Stanislaus shelter. With his spirited personality and high energy, he’s bound to keep you on your toes. While he enjoys the company of people, he can be selective with other dogs, especially in tight spaces. Watch out—he tends to be vocal around strangers and can pull on the leash when he’s excited. Plus, this little escape artist might try to snatch shoes or pant legs during moments of enthusiasm. Socrates would thrive in an experienced home that can provide the structure, training, and boundaries he needs to flourish. He’s also great with children, making him a fantastic family companion. The commitment to bringing a pet into your life is significant, so please consider that he may need a loving family for over a decade. Your new best friend is waiting for you at Wags and Whiskers.
