WILEY

 

Male | 4 years old | 38 pounds | Medium energy | Comfortable with kids | Working through dog reactivity | No cats please, shows prey drive | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Goofy & playful

Meet WILEY. Possibly the sweetest, goofiest scruff you’ll meet. And there are a lot of scruffs out there! Lots of walks, time to play, and, ofc, time to nap are the keys to his heart. Oh, and throw in some cuddles, and he’ll be the happiest guy around. 

WILEY currently lives in a condo in Toronto and, with support from his foster family, has been becoming more independent. They’ve noticed that his love for toys is impressive, and no matter how many he has, he makes time to play with each! He’s also a big fan of time outside, and we think he’d make a great adventure buddy alongside his future adopters. Being adaptable is what has us thinking that WILEY would do well in most environments. As long as you’re committed to his training, he’s sure to show off his best self.

Overall, this scruff is a great walker who stays by his human’s side. With that in mind, it’s his anxiousness that can sometimes lead to him becoming reactive when passing other dogs on walks. Usually, this is the case if they get too close for comfort or if they bark. Working on controlled interactions has been helpful, and WILEY recently did great attending a trail pack walk, showing more curiosity with those dogs. Big strides indeed!

WILEY enjoys attention from kids and is happy to sit while accepting pets from them. We still think living with older kids, at least for now, would be best, as he can get excited and jumpy. Have more visitors, well, visiting? He’s content in his crate even with new people around and also happy to go up to them looking for affection. After a busy day of walks, exploring, and playing, WILEY is more than happy to chillax with you. Now, here’s the thing: he might want to kick back on the couch with you, but he’s learning to stay on his bed using the command “place.” He’ll get there!
