Story
Meet Wilbur : The Goofy Gentle Giant Ready to Steal Your Heart!
Wilbur is a Miami-Dade Animal Services (MDAS) foster survivor who’s finally getting his chance to shine. This handsome American Bulldog is 70 pounds of love, laughter, and loyalty. His one true wish? To be your best friend and shadow — you’re the center of his world.
Wilbur has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s goofy, affectionate, and a total ham for belly rubs. He loves his lick mats, tries to rule the roost (with charm, of course), and will keep you smiling with his silly antics.
Thanks to the care of his incredible foster mom, Wilbur has blossomed, day by day shedding the stress of his long shelter stay and revealing the sweet, soulful pup he truly is.
Bonus: Wilbur comes with FREE professional obedience training! We want to make sure this big boy has the best manners to match his big heart. The training is offered for the south florida area only.
Ideal home:
Another dog his size (he plays best with similar-sized pals)
No cats, please
Kids over 13 years old
House preferred for space
A yard for playing!
Wilbur is ready to love hard and live happy. Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for?

Likes/Dislikes:
Wilbur may be a total attention-seeker, but he’s also learned how to chill. Whether he’s lounging on the couch or relaxing in his own space, he’s happy to simply be near his people while they go about their day.
He’s a joyful, curious pup who loves his toys — especially lick mats, Benebones, Kongs, and puzzle treat games that make him think. His brain loves a challenge, and his heart loves a good cuddle.
Since leaving the shelter, Wilbur has made huge strides. He’s thriving in a home environment and has settled into a routine with his foster mom that gives him structure and comfort. Any transition will be stressful for him, so we recommend keeping a similar routine in place and using his crate as a safe, calming space during the adjustment period.
Wilbur was a tester dog at the shelter and is very neutral, he currently lives with a Boston terrier and they have no issues hangin out, just make sure slow intros are adhered too
Patience, love, and belly rubs will go a long way — and Wilbur will reward you with loyal companionship and his signature goofy grin.
Wilbur will need time to destress with his transition, and alot of patience. Wilbur does tend to jump up (training should cure this behavior) and Wilbur does want to single handily rid any neighborhood of their ducks or chickens.
Toys: puzzles, kongs, benebones, rope toys, lick matsOther Animals: preferred only dog, or similar dog sizePeople/Kids: loves people, and any attention from visitors, we recommend a slow intro Car Rides: gets excited, needs to be cratedSeparation: totally happy in his crate, must be crated when humans are not home!
