Meet Wilma. She spent 5 years in a puppy mill, never leaving the cage.
She is still learning to trust and that belly rubs will be a daily routine in her new life!! She is only 5 years old. She, surprisingly, is already house broken. I think she took a lesson from the other fur babies in the house. She has never gone in her crate and already knows what to do in the yard!!
She is still very afraid of touch and as much as I believe she loves it, she freezes up and isn’t sure what to make of it. She will need a lot of love and patience. I try to hold and pet her daily, so she knows what belly rubs are and how great they can be!
Wilma’s crate is her safe haven, although the door is always open she has been more comfortable sitting in there. Daily she comes out for her treats, food and to run around the kitchen a bit. She is slowly learning how fun it is to run around a counter or to chase her fur sisters and brothers. In time, I think she will love to be out of the crate on someone’s lap!
She is great around the other dogs in our home and her temperament is very timid.
The adoption fee for Wilma is $250.00. She will come to you fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped.
