Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Wilbur (3.5 yrs/85lbs) is one of the Great Ones; a very special dog who is both athletic and emotionally intuitive. He's a healthy, handsome "tiger dog" Playful, smart, and very cuddly. He is well-trained in all the basic commands, and loves people and other dogs. Does not destroy human belongings or chew shoes. He is incredibly gentle with kids - a great family dog. Except no small dogs or cats for Wilbur.
He has been around kids his whole life so he is gentle with little kids (will roll over and show his belly so they can pet him), and appropriately playful with big kids.
He is neutered, fully vaxxed, mcrochipped and DNA tested.
Wilbur is FUN. Loves the beach, hiking, playing frisbee and fetch. He loves to run alongside you while jogging or rollerblading. Well behaved and social at dog parks. He's an excellent swimmer, and will help dig sandcastles.
Wilbur has had a life full of love, which shows in his sweet disposition.

START Rescue does not have a physical location, so our pets are typically either in foster homes, in boarding, or in board/train. We work very hard to facilitate meet & greets quickly and easily, once an application is submitted and approved. We are so grateful to our wonderful adopters and fosters who have given our pets loving homes.
