About Wonka

Meet Wonka, a playful and affectionate six-month-old Bluetick Coonhound mix weighing about forty pounds. This social pup thrives on interaction and would greet every passerby if given the chance. He balances his high energy with moments of cuddling and actual hugs for his favorite people. Wonka adores other dogs, often enjoying morning meetups and daycare. He's respectful of their boundaries and adjusts well to new situations, showing confidence and curiosity. Crate trained, he enjoys his crate as a cozy retreat and is nearly fully potty trained, consistently using the outdoors or his pee pad. He’s learning basic commands like sit and stay, and his leash manners are improving too. His love for puzzle toys and scent games keeps his hound instincts engaged. This pup would thrive in a moderate to active home, ideally with another playful dog and some outdoor space for adventures. His ideal family enjoys walks and hikes and is committed to continuing his training. As his foster says, “Underneath all that puppy energy is an incredibly sweet, social, funny guy who just wants friends, adventures, and lots of love.” Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
