Wicky was part of a litter of puppies that was abandoned and left without a family to care for them. At such a young age, she and her siblings were completely vulnerable and depended on each other until help arrived. Thankfully, they were found and brought into rescue, where Wicky finally received the food, safety, and care every puppy deserves. And Wicky quickly showed everyone exactly who she is—a happy, spunky little girl with a big personality! Wicky approaches life with enthusiasm. She's playful, curious, and ready to investigate whatever is happening around her. She loves having fun, interacting with people, and enjoying all the new experiences she missed out on during her difficult beginning. She's the kind of puppy who can make you laugh with her silly antics one minute and then happily settle in for affection the next. Her cheerful personality makes her a wonderful match for a family looking for a fun little companion to grow up alongside them. Because Wicky is still a young puppy, her personality will continue to develop as she matures. Early training, socialization, and plenty of positive experiences will help her grow into a confident and well-adjusted adult dog. Wicky would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Positive reinforcement puppy training Patient and consistent house-training Daily age-appropriate play and exercise Interactive toys and mental enrichment Continued socialization A predictable daily routine A safe indoor home where she's included as part of the family A lifelong commitment through every stage of her life Wicky didn't get to choose how her story started. Now she needs a family who will make sure everything that comes next is filled with love. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Wicky is still a puppy, which means her new family gets the rewarding job of teaching her how to become a wonderful family dog. Adopters should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, teething, house-training accidents, energetic play, and lots of curiosity. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to begin decompressing and feeling safe 3 Weeks to start understanding her new household routine 3 Months to settle in, build trust, and truly feel at home Wicky will benefit from positive reinforcement training from the beginning. Consistent boundaries and early socialization with different people, environments, sounds, and appropriately matched animals will help her build confidence. Her spunky personality means she'll also appreciate plenty of enrichment. Puzzle toys, short training sessions, games, walks as age-appropriate, and interactive play can help keep both her body and mind busy. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Wicky means making a lifelong commitment to her physical and emotional well-being. Puppies require time, patience, training, veterinary care, and financial responsibility throughout their lives. Wicky's adopter should be prepared to provide: Completion of her puppy vaccination schedule Spaying when age-appropriate Routine veterinary wellness examinations Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention as recommended by a veterinarian A nutritionally complete puppy diet appropriate for her growth Routine dental care Continued training and socialization Daily age-appropriate physical exercise Mental stimulation and enrichment Veterinary treatment whenever illness or injury occurs A safe, loving indoor home We recommend establishing care with a veterinarian shortly after adoption and continuing regular wellness visits throughout Wicky's life.
