My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We all know the best part of a wonton is the inside, and that’s true for our Wonton too! Sure, he’s handsome on the outside, but he’s also got a big old heart tucked away inside, and he’d love to find the right person to share it with!! Wonton spent some time in a foster- here’s what his foster said:

“Wonton has done extremely well. He is very housebroken and affectionate. His favorite time of the day is breakfast and dinner! He loves food. Wonton is well behaved, very obedient, and is kennel trained…he’s just an all-around great, great dog with a heart of gold!!!”

And here’s what Wonton’s volunteer friends have said about him:

“Wonton is such an amazing dog. He handles well and is very friendly.
On our walk, he mainly wanted to sniff at a slow pace or stand in front of me for pets. He quietly leaned in and scooted closer whenever I stopped petting him. It was hard to leave his side! He`s an adorable teddy bear of a dog.”

“Wonton is a sweet pal who handles very easily. He is a nice walker, keeping himself occupied by exploring around him while maintaining a nice loose leash walk. He takes treats nicely and is such a sweet dog! I really enjoyed my time with him. He is so friendly and cuddly, asking politely for treats and hugs. He climbed up on the bench next to me and was delighted to get scratches on his head. He is such a good boy. I love his big smile.”

“Today was my first time walking Wonton. He knows sit, come, look, place and seems familiar with being in a crate. He allowed and sought cuddles during the walk and was so easy to walk. Sweet guy, lots of cuddles!”

`Wonton was easy to walk and leash and likes to sniff everything. He loves to be petted and is friendly, calm, and mellow.”

“Wonton was easy to leash and, once out, was a delightful walker. Loose leash, responsive to me, and accepted love and treats readily. The return trip was effortless.”

Wonton accompanies a volunteer on regular outings away from the shelter and can hilariously always be found with his favorite green ball in his mouth. He was appropriate and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup, mostly keeping to himself. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit.
