Wilder Siberian Husky & Boxer Mix Louisville, KY

Everyone please meet Wilder!

This lovable, derpy, spotted-tongue boy is ready to find his forever home!

Wilder is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky/Boxer mix, verified by DNA, and weighs just over 60 pounds! This happy-go-lucky boy has an enormous zest for life, love, and joy, and he’s eager to share all of it with his future family.

His favorite things? Dinner time, playing with his ball, and snuggling up with his humans. Wilder is the ultimate bed snuggler, though you might end up with no foot space left! He’s also a huge fan of outdoor adventures, so he’ll gladly join you for a hike or a fun romp in the yard. Wilder would do best in a home with older kids (8+) who are familiar with lively, energetic dogs. He’s full of joy and might even show off his parkour skills along the way!

It’s likely Wilder didn’t have a lot of dog interactions early on in life which makes him a little awkward around other dogs. He's not reactive, though—he can easily walk alongside other dogs, but he hasn't shown much interest in making dog or cat friends. He would thrive as the only pet in a home where he gets all the attention. But trust us—one Wilder is more than enough! His tippy-tap dance moves, ears that are always in different directions, and zoomies will keep you laughing long after the fun ends.

Wilder’s ideal home would include a fenced yard where he can do zoomies to his heart's content, an endless supply of toys, and a family who enjoys an active lifestyle. Whether it’s running, hiking, swimming, or even agility training (with plenty of treats!), Wilder is up for the challenge. He’s housebroken and all he really wants is a comfy sofa, a human to snuggle, and treats—though the order doesn’t matter!

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.
