Please read Wilford s entire bio before applying.
Wilford is a 1 year old little boy that is believed to be an Australian labradoodle. He just knows he is a good boy! Full grown he should weigh about 40 pounds.
Wilford was confiscated by animal control very skinny and matted. He had to have his tail and back legs shaved due to matting. He will see a groomer before adoption.
Knowledge of the grooming and care of the breed is very important.
He has been thriving in his foster home, learning there will always be food, water and love available.
He is learning about boundaries from his foster sister, but is still learning boundaries with other dogs. He takes correction very well from the little old lady dog and loves to play with his 85 pound foster sister. Wilford would be ok with dogs of all sizes and probably be ok with kitties.
Wilford would love a companion dog to continue to show him how to be a good boy. He would also love family with some children to play with. He is a very active boy but is very lost without another dog in the home.
Wilford is still a puppy and is very "mouthy" he is still learning that human hands (and feet) are not chew toys.
So his humans will need to remind him this is not ok.
Wilford knows, sit, stay, enough, leave it and lay down.
He is completely crate trained and will need to be crated when gone. He will cry in his crate if there is no other dog or human in the room with him. He is mostly housetrained as long as he is kept on his schedule.
Since Wilford is a "designer breed" and had a very rough start, his foster mom will be very selective with his new home.
Good with dogs (really needs a playful doggie companion)
Great with kids
Leash trained
Mostly house trained
