Hi! My name is Wilbur and I am an itty bitty Terrier/Chihuahua mix pup. I currently weigh around 6 lbs and will be approximately 15 lbs as a fully grown adult. I am 4 1/2 months old.
I am a sweet, shy, playful, energetic and lovable boy being raised in a caring foster home. I am a cute lil pup who is equal parts play and snuggle. A perfect dog for a smaller living space – I love making friends with anyone I meet!
I am a silly boy who loves exploring, playing with toys and blankets, and LOVES sitting on laps. I am currently partially potty trained and becoming better and better about going outside of the house.
I am a smart boy who is fast to learn commands. I am also not much of a barker – although I do bark when I get excited.
I would love a home where I can get a lot of attention – someone who works from home or can keep me company throughout the day would make me SUPER happy.
I have been socialized with lots of loving human attention. I will be going to a family who is truly committed to proper training, socialization and care to make sure I become the best dog I can be!
I will be around 15 lbs when fully grown.
Before you submit your application for my cute, button face please make sure to do the following:
- Training your puppy: When it comes to any puppy, think about what the dog is being encouraged to do now and ask yourself if this will be wanted behavior when the puppy is bigger and stronger. So while it may be adorable when a tiny puppy jumps up on people for attention, climbs up onto the couch and gnaws on people’s hands, that behavior isn’t so cute when the puppy is adult size, with adult teeth.
- Plan to take basic training classes with your new dog. A class builds the skills for the dog and creates lasting bonds with his or her new family.
- Socializing: Have puppies meet as many nice people and other animals as possible to learn and keep great social skills. Protect them from bad experiences. Fear causes many dogs to become defensive, and defensive behavior is seen as aggression.
Are you ready for a full time job with me?Are you committed to cleaning, training and socializing me for the rest of my life? If you are ready for puppyhood (being home every 2-3 hours), I would love to meet you. Please apply here to meet Wilbur. (BS)
