About Dwight

Dwight has settled into his foster home in Woodinville, WA, and is doing well! This sweet, shy boy is beginning to realize that the world isn’t such a scary place. He takes time to trust and will need a patient family who can help him shine. One of his favorite activities is going for walks, which he truly enjoys. Dwight would thrive in a calm home with another dog to help him feel secure and guide him. With a canine companion and a family willing to let him adjust at his own pace, Dwight has great potential to blossom. Note that he has short-term medical needs, which we can discuss in more detail during the adoption call. Dwight is available for adoption in the Pacific Northwest. Ready to meet your new best friend?
