Wrigley the wonderful boy

My story

This is Wrigley and I am so excited to introduce you to him! He is sweetness with people, has some impressive leash skills, and just happens to be a real cutie! My favorite thing about Wrigley is his amazing balance of playfulness and chill, the type I think every dog-lover looks for! Introduce him to a dog and it won't be long before they are off playing together, invite him inside and watch how quickly he settles in for a little nap. Take a look at both here then come back to read more about Wrigley https://youtu.be/8lw79jNtqYI In rescue age and breed are details we cannot guarantee but we try hard to make educated observations. We all agree, Wrigley has the looks and personality of a good ol’ husky/shepherd mix, and despite his mature presence, we believe he is around 1-1.5 years old. Honestly my favorite age for so many reasons, mostly puppy days are in the past and an attentive, eager to please dog is who you have. Wrigley has a nice balance of energy and chill. He is fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home along with another dog who he loves bouncing around with. When Wrigley has been introduced to other dogs, he showed an all around friendly, playful approach. On one occasion he met a female version of himself, twinning moment, and it was an immediate connection. The best part was that their playstyles and energy were as alike as their looks. Wrigley is a dog that would love a playmate in the home, so dog owners looking to add one to the crew, Wrigley is ready! Wrigley is fostered in a home with a yard and we think he is best suited for something very similar in his forever home. A yard is great for playing and sunbathing but in Wrigley’s case it helps when his inner husky is showing. Again, we cant be sure but he does get a little “chatty” so apartments are not the best fit. You will love his expressions but apartment neighbors may not. Wrigley was calm and gentle around a 1 year old and handled him crawling around and all the noises with a calm patience. If you have kids of any age, Wrigley could fit right in! No matter how patient a dog is, it is important to supervises/guide dog+kid interactions, especially during the handsy toddler stage. When Wrigley was introduced to our house cat it was easy to see it may have been a first for him. He was unsure and very wary which led to him being uncomfortable and easily startled. Given this, a feline-free home would be best for him. Wrigley will thrive in a calm but active household—a family with a yard, another playful pup, and people who’ll give him some structure and love. He settles nicely inside when it’s time to wind down and is the kind of dog who will nap at your feet while you work or nearby, somewhere cozy, while you go about your day. If you’re looking for a perfectly petite loyal boy, who is great with dogs, kind with kids, and ready to be your chatty bestie, Wrigley is your guy! Ready to make the first move?

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.
