Wilma Husky Mix Appin, ON

Wilma
10yr old Husky mix

Wilma is a very gentle old soul who will need a routine and someone with patience to gain her trust. She is very sweet and gentle, but can be very timid and is partially blind and has some hearing loss also. She is crate/kennel trained and a very easy-going girl.
Wilma can be a picky eater. Sometimes she eats both meals and prefers soft treats and liver over hard treats. Wilma loves her lifted bed and is usually okay with bedding. Sometimes she will randomly chew up a bed or blanket she's been using for awhile. She is a good girl for bath and nail trims, just a bit nervous.
Wilma would be suited in a home with other dogs who are calm. With that being said, she was boss lady in her group of friends. All of the young dogs listen to her and do not mess with her. Wilma responds well to her name and can recall to a whistle.
Wilma is okay on leash but gets confused and could use some leash training. Harnesses and collars still make her a bit nervous.
Wilma has come a long way and if the right person is kind, and patient, she will be the perfect companion. It only takes her a few days to get into her routine. It helps her with her nervousness to know What is coming next. We love Wilma and hope whoever ends up with her sees what a special sweet girl she is. She deserves a nice couch to curl up on, and endless love.

**Please note we DO NOT adopt our dogs as outdoor/farm dogs. These dogs are coming to us as stray, roaming or dogs that have lived a life tied to a chain. Our goal is to bring them in the house off the chain and give them a pampered indoor dogs lifestyle. Unless otherwise stated we will not even consider a home that has intentions of leaving our dogs outdoors or tied to a chain**
***We do require every applicant to provide a vet reference and we do follow up with your vet. If you do not currently have a vet as you have no pets, we strongly encourage you to do your research and contact vets to make sure they are accepting new patients. You must have a vet in place before bringing a new dog home. You will be required to give your vet permission to release information to us, we also require two personal references as well that will be contacted. We have policy and procedure in place while screening homes. If a family refuses any step in the process they will not qualify for adoption. We are not currently doing adoptions across the boarder.***
