Wilma is a standout, a diamond in the "ruff"! She is beautiful, loving, playful, and super smart. Knows basic commands and just wants to please. She is very dog friendly and would make a great family member. Wilma rides well in the car, is house and crate trained, and has been fully vetted.
We rescued her from a high kill shelter 2 months ago and she had been at the shelter since June after being found as a stray but managed to stay alive for 4 months because she was such a good dog and a volunteer favorite. It cannot be overstated how important it is to have at least a part-time dog trainer/behaviorist at the shelter to assess the dogs for rescue or adoption. Wilma was amazing in the play yard with all breeds of dogs as well as very people friendly. The trainer remarked on what good manners she had and how she would wait at the gate and greet each dog as they came out of their kennel into the yard. She can "read the room" and adjust her play style accordingly. Wilma is always happy to make new friends! Since leaving the shelter she has been fostered with my trainer at her ranch in Hesperia playing and socializing with all the dogs. True to form my trainer cannot say enough nice things about Wilma. She is PERFECT and needs to get into her own loving home where she belongs! Hopefully this profile will help her with that journey.
Wilma is approx a 2 yr old, petite 60 lb shep mix, fully vetted with all vaccinations, spayed, and micro chipped.

More about this rescue
I am a small independent rescuer in the San Gabriel Valley in So. CA. I was inspired to get into rescue when I lost my heart of heart dogs Ebony in 2011 and now have been rescuing and saving lives for 13 years. I pull unwanted dogs from high kill shelters, vet and provide training as needed, place in suitable foster homes, and finally good forever homes no matter how long it takes. All of this out of my own pocket most of the time. I pride myself on finding the most amazing adopters and my motto is always to set the dog up for success. I primarily rescue large mixed breed dogs a large percentage which are bully breeds.
