About Wilma

Wilma is a delightful young girl, just about four months old, who has already shown her wonderful personality in foster care. She was a respectful guest in her home, demonstrating her sweet nature around a puppy. Wilma knows how to sit and walks well on a leash, making outings enjoyable. Currently, she’s making great progress with potty training, although she needs to go out every few hours to ensure her success. She has adapted well to crate life, though she might whine a little for the first 15 minutes. This affectionate pup adores kids and has interacted wonderfully with them during her time in foster care. Adopting Wilma means opening your home to a playful and loving companion. Contact the Animal Rescue League of Iowa Inc. to meet her in person. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
