My story

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

Meet Wiggle Worm – 80% Wiggle, 20% Worm, 100% Joy

Wiggle Worm is what happens when happiness grows giant paws and learns how to lean directly into your soul for pets. This boy doesn’t walk — he wiggles with purpose.
He is wildly playful and considers toys his life’s calling. Toss him one and you may not see him again for a while… not because he ran away, but because he’s over there having the time of his life entertaining himself like a one-dog circus.
Wiggle Worm already knows sit and down, which is impressive considering his entire body is permanently set to celebration mode. He is very strong on leash — think “enthusiastic parade float” — so he’ll do best with someone who enjoys a little arm workout.
This exuberant, happy-go-lucky lovebug leans into every pet like it’s the best moment he’s had all day (and honestly, it probably is). If you’re looking for a dog with a massive zest for life, comically large paws, and enough joy to power a small city, Wiggle Worm is ready to bounce straight into your heart.
