Wilder Siberian Husky & Boxer Mix Nashville, TN

Meet Wilder!

This adorable, derpy, spotted tongue boy is looking for his forever home!!

Wilder is a 2 year old Siberian Husky/Boxer mix, verified by DNA! He weighs around 65 pounds now and he is a healthy and happy dog. We know he's not big or fluffy, but how can you say no to those ears?

His favorite things in life are dinner time, playing with his ball and cuddling up with his human. He is an excellent bed snuggler and may or may not steal all of the foot space. This is also a guy who would enjoy a good hike and romp time outdoors, He is a very happy dog who even does tippy tippy dance moves when he’s excited! He will do best with older kids 8+ who are comfortable with happy dogs well versed in parkour.

It’s likely that Wilder didn’t have a lot of dog interactions in his first couple years of life, which makes him a little awkward around other dogs. He’s not reactive and can pack walk with the best of them, but hasn’t shown us that he has any interest in dog friends and would be happiest living as an only pet in the home. Kitties are hit or miss- sometimes they are boring and sometimes they are fun to chase. Any cats in the home would need to be dog savvy.

His ideal forever home has a fenced yard so he can do his zoomies to his heart’s content and an endless supply of toys. Wilder is housebroken and what he wants is a sofa, a human and treats- in any order!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
