Wylie

Meet Wylie! This sweet boy came into rescue with his mom and siblings. They didn't have a great start to life, but he is now learning what it's like to live in a home with comfy beds and more toys than he knows what to do with! Wylie is a 5-month-old Great Pyrenees (maybe mix?). He's got long legs and goofy ears, but that's what gives him his charm. He is thriving in his foster home and growing more confident each day. He is great with other dogs, loves chilling with the kids on the couch, and didn't mind the cat. He sleeps through the night in his crate and is working on house training. He truly enjoys spending time outside (and may need some coaxing to come back inside) so a fenced yard is a must for this guy!

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
