I've attached a recent photo of Wolfie, who we adopted from Southern Hope last February- he was 8 months old at the time. He's a mixed Husky/Shepherd Mix and has been a challenge and delight since we adopted him. He was a mouther, still mouths a wee bit, mostly to grab our hands to lead us to take him to go outside, but doesn't have a lick of aggression in his body.
He is the best snuggler in the world and loves to be close to people, loves to snuggle with his back against any perons back and loves to have his back rubbed. Oh, and he loves to dive into soft snuggly things and has a host of stuffed animals that he has taken a keen interest in.
He has a nose for any human food product and will often ignore his food bowl until he's sure he can't sneak any food from our teens. He loves' rawhide bones and especially likes pig ear chewies - we throw in a milk-bone for diversionary tactics along the way. Wolfie can smell food and sneak in for a steal with such stealth!
Wolfie is close to two years old now - a bit awkward and hasn't always grasped space and relationships - he'll dive head long onto the couch, and just hang out as if the humans don't exist. Or dive bomb in a bed just to get to something soft while walking all over your head. He's a loveable friendly dog.
Wolfie was scared of brooms, scared of car noises, scared of going out side when a car came by (or any noises), loved to eat paper out of nervousness when we first got him. My son loved that scenerio, how true can it be that the dog "really" did eat your homework.
Thank you Southern Hope. You recommended we change his name, but there was nothing that was fitting.
He's a great dog and we are blessed to have him!
