Wilbur - German Shorthaired Pointer (short coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

ull of life. This lovable goofball is all puppy — playful, cuddly, and always ready for fun. He’s been settling in beautifully with his foster family and is now ready to find an active home that can keep up with his enthusiasm and help him grow into the great dog he’s meant to be. Wilbur is housetrained and learning his basic manners. He knows “sit,” “come,” and “with me,” and his leash skills are improving with practice. Like most young pups, he’s still working on curbing his jumping when greeting people — he just can’t help being excited to see you! Crate time is a challenge for Wilbur right now. He finds it stressful to be left alone and can cry or try to escape if confined. He’ll need a patient adopter who can help him learn that being alone is okay, using short, positive sessions and gradual confidence-building. Because of this, a work-from-home household or one where he’ll have company most of the time would be ideal. Wilbur is a high-energy guy who loves his walks, hikes, and playtime with other dogs. He enjoys squeaky toys and anything he can chew on (wood is a favorite!). He’s happiest when he has something to do — a dog friend to play with, a yard to explore, or a human to tag along with on adventures. He’ll definitely need plenty of daily exercise and structure to stay happy and out of mischief. He gets along well with people of all ages, including kids, and loves meeting new friends. He plays well with other dogs and would benefit from having a canine buddy. With cats, he’s curious but not aggressive — he’ll sometimes chase out of instinct but means no harm. Wilbur’s personality shines through in everything he does — he’s affectionate, fun-loving, and eager to please. He’s the kind of dog who brings energy and joy wherever he goes. With guidance, consistency, and plenty of love, he’s going to make an incredible lifelong companion. Wilbur will do best in: An active home with lots of daily exercise and mental stimulation A family or individual who’s home most of the time (work from home is great) A home with another playful dog to help him learn and burn energy Someone patient and committed to continuing his training Wilbur is still growing and learning, with all the makings of a wonderful, devoted companion. If you’re looking for a bright, bouncy pup to join your adventures—and you’re ready for the energy that comes with it—Wilbur might just be your guy.
