About Wilbur

Wilbur is a sweet 2-year-old hound and pit mix who was found wandering alone. He's feeling a bit lost in the noisy shelter, and it’s clear he longs for a loving home where he can feel secure. Wilbur is respectful and quiet indoors; he even sits on command. He’s current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and will be neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. You can meet this adorable guy in kennel 848. His ID is 22718. As a reminder, the volunteers at Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb may not know about Wilbur's interactions with children or other pets since he came in as a stray. You’re encouraged to schedule a meet and greet with your existing pets to see if Wilbur would be a great fit for your family. This dog is available for adoption at Cobb County Animal Services in Marietta, GA. Shelter hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and closed on Mondays.
