A loving approximately three-and-a-half-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart currently living in Centreville, VA, whose heart is as big as her personality! With her snowy white coat, golden patches, and mesmerizing icy blue eyes, she’s as striking as she is affectionate. Wheezy is a devoted, cuddly, and playful companion who’s happiest when she’s by your side—whether that’s snuggled up on the couch or engaged in a spirited play session in the backyard!
Her name isn’t just cute—it’s a perfect fit! When she’s soaking up attention from her favorite people, she lets out little “wheezes” and “oinks” of pure contentment, like a tiny, happy piglet. And when it comes to playtime, Wheezy has a signature move: enthusiastic roughhousing! She loves an energetic romp with her family but always keeps things gentle, instantly switching back to cuddle mode the moment you tell her it’s time to settle.
Wheezy is a very intelligent girl who thrives on structure and positive reinforcement. She’s fully house-trained, knows several commands—including "sit," "shake," "place," "free," and "wait"—and picks up new skills quickly. She even has a special command, “place,” which helps her stay calm when guests visit. A quiet home without other animals or young children would be the perfect match for her, as she prefers to be the center of attention and isn’t comfortable around other pets.
Wheezy is reactive toward other dogs and has shown aggression toward them. In the past, she has bitten another dog in the home, which is why she would do best as the only pet. Despite dedicated training and behavior management, she remains uncomfortable around other animals and needs a pet-free environment where she can relax and be her best self. She currently takes Venlafaxine to help manage stress and reactivity, which has been beneficial, and she follows a special diet to prevent food allergies. Continuing this routine will help her stay happy and healthy. She’s also not a fan of vet visits, but with a bit of preparation (and some pre-visit sedation medication), she handles them like a champ!
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and delightfully quirky best friend, Wheezy is ready to be your constant companion! Are you the loving, pet-free home she needs to truly shine? If so, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com—she can’t wait to meet you!
