​

Wolfie came to us from a crowded PA shelter. You may think that a cute little guy like him would get adopted quickly, but the shelter environment is not a good one for a nervous nellie like Wolfie. He was extremely fearful and got himself labeled "rescue only" as a result. Again, it seems like he would be a good candidate to be pulled by rescues, but since everyone is full poor Wolfie sat and waited. We were asked to take two other dogs with medical needs, asked about any other small seniors who might be available, took one look at those little snaggle teeth and said YES to Wolfie too!

​

In foster care, Wolfie keeps to himself. He hides when new people come and does not like the commotion of the pack. However, when his foster mom gets him one-on-one, it is obvious that this little guy just needs a change of scenery to really blossom. He loves attention and affection and is sweet and goofy and a lot of fun. Although he does well with and is safe around cats and dogs (the exception being a beagle who came to us intact, who Wolfie absolutely hated), Wolfie would be fine as an only dog and would certainly prefer a calmer environment. He has done very well with house training and is a relatively quiet guy. Wolfie will have a dental on July 31st and will be ready to go to his forever home after that!
