Rescue Dog Behavior Changes Week by Week
Bringing home a rescue dog means observing their behavior changes week by week. Learn what to expect beyond the 3-3-3 rule and how to support your new.
Wilbur is a delightful 2-year-old Basset Hound with an affectionate nature and a big personality. He loves people and is a true snuggle bug, always eager for cuddles and quality time with his human companions. Wilbur also adores other dogs and thrives in canine company, making him an ideal candidate for a home with a playful furry friend. He's a cheerful boy who isn't shy about expressing himself, often 'talking' to let you know what's on his mind.
True to his Basset Hound heritage, Wilbur possesses a charming, easygoing temperament. While he enjoys affection and companionship, Basset Hounds are known for their strong sense of smell and can be prone to following interesting scents, so a secure yard is a must. They generally have moderate energy levels, enjoying daily walks and playtime, but are also content to relax indoors. His short coat requires minimal grooming, typically just weekly brushing to manage moderate shedding.
Wilbur is searching for a loving forever family who can provide him with the attention and companionship he craves. A home with another playful dog would be a dream come true for him. He would benefit from a family committed to continuing his housetraining and providing him with consistent, positive reinforcement. If you're looking for a loyal, vocal, and incredibly cuddly companion, Wilbur is ready to fill your home with love and happy 'talks'.
