Wyatt is a German Shepherd/Husky/Lab mix that is full grown at around 56 pounds and was born 12/4/2022. Wyatt and Doc were an owner surrender after his family needed help looking to find forever homes, not only for him, but for many his siblings too. Since being at the shelter, Wyatt Earp and his bonded buddy Doc Holiday are ready to find a family of their own.
Doc has learned to make fast friends, while Wyatt still looks to Doc for guidance and confidence when meeting new people. Due to this, they may need multiple meets in order for them to feel comfortable. Once you have earned their trust, you will become their new best friends. Since they did not grow up around children or other dogs outside of their pack, they would love to have proper introductions with any resident family members including children or other dogs. While we do think another dog in the home will help them build confidence, it is not required. As for children, older kids might be easier for them to trust, as younger children can be scary when they are loud or make fast movements. Once they are comfortable though, they may jump to greet and could potentially knock someone over if they become too excited. Both have not had the opportunity to meet with cats, but we can always test them to get their reactions.
They have learned lots of new tricks that that they use every day such as basic commands like `sit`, `down`, and `off`, they know when it is time to go potty and play outside, and how to walk on leash. They may still pull when they are excited to go on walks or to play outside, but both have come a long way from when they first arrived.
Wyatt and Doc are still a little anxious due to the change from being outside dogs into learning that the inside is okay for them too, so they may still need help learning proper house manners once in their future home. They would still like a home that is patient, willing to show them new things at their pace, and one that will have time to help them build confidence and express their energy! Because of their experience of being outside and learning the perks of staying inside throughout the day and overnight, they would be able to be adopted as an inside/outside dog, but we will require that they have access to a climate-controlled shelter, that they have access to fresh food and fresh water every day, and that they have plenty of space to exercise safely within a fenced in area.
