Story
Two year old neutered male poodle mixLittle Wolf is a handsome 2 year old, 18 lb. boy who is neutered, vaccinated, free of parasites and is SO ready to find his person! He’s sweet, playful, loves his walks, LOVES other dogs, and once he trusts you, he is all about the love. He’s also a little bit of a work in progress—which means he needs someone who can give him the patience, consistency, and love he deserves. Little Wolf is fostered in the East SF Bay Area. We are open to out of the area adopters who are willing to come to us to meet him. When Little Wolf first came to us, he was covered in severe mats and was very nervous and protective. We don’t know much about his life before coming into foster care, but it’s clear that he didn’t get the care or training he needed. The good news? He is making progress, and he is SO eager to be loved once he feels safe with you. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT LITTLE WOLF: He loves his people! He tends to prefer women and just needs a little extra time and patience to warm up to men. He LOVES other dogs! He would be a fantastic playmate for a dog who enjoys having a buddy. He may be a little much for a dog who prefers their personal space. He could also happily be your one-and-only, as long as he gets plenty of attention from his human. What about cats? We’re not completely sure yet how Little Wolf feels about cats, but we think he may be able to live with a confident, dog-savvy cat. A careful introduction and the right feline personality would be important. He LOVES his walks! Walks are a great way for him to burn energy and help him relax. His foster mom usually takes him on two walks a day—just over a mile each time—and he LOVES them! He’s a great travel buddy! Little Wolf does well in the crate and on car rides, making him an easy guy to take along on adventures. He’s still working on house training. He is definitely improving! He loves exploring and marking the yard, so frequent trips outside are helpful. And he has absolutely no problem wearing a belly band while he works on his manners. Best for a home without small children. He would do best in a home without young children since he can be a little nippy when he’s nervous. And look at all the GOOD stuff! • Young and handsome • Healthy • Neutered • Microchipped • Vaccinated • Freshly and beautifully groomed • LOVES other dogs • GREAT on walks • Does well in a crate • Does well on car rides • Very affectionate once he trusts you WHAT LITTLE WOLF NEEDS Little Wolf needs someone who will give him time to trust, help him build confidence, keep him active, and show him that people can be good. He may need a little more patience than some dogs, but once he lets you into his heart, you get the feeling he is going to give you ALL the love he’s been waiting for. If you think you might be Little Wolf’s person, please email us at at @beourpet@gmail.com! We know he’s very handsome, and may get a lot of attentions so please let us know what his life would be like with you and how you plan to work through some of his challenges. This handsome boy is ready for his next chapter—and he deserves a family who will give him the time and love to become the very best version of himself.
