1/31/2025: Woof! Hello there! I’m Wrigley, but you can call me “Wriggles” or “Wiggly Wrigley” because I just can’t help but wag my entire body when I see my new foster parents! They think I’m a delightful boxer/beagle mix, tipping the scales at a sprightly 35 pounds. I was found wandering the streets of South Carolina with a bit of a bum leg, but don’t let that fool you—it doesn’t slow me down one bit! I still love to romp around and play with my foster brother.
My first visit to the vet was a breeze—I was the perfect patient! I was so thrilled to be surrounded by people, even if they did give me a few pokes. They mentioned something about heartworms, which might mean more visits to those lovely folks, but honestly, I feel as fit as a fiddle! I am over the moon to have humans I can shower with kisses and affection.
Peanut butter in kong toys? Yes, please! I’ve been on a quest to find the coziest dog bed in my new home, but so far, nothing beats sprawling out on my foster mom’s lap, especially when she’s doling out belly rubs. I’m still a bit shy around my foster dad, but I’m warming up to him too—though I must admit, I have a soft spot for the ladies.
I’m proud to say I’m fully crate trained and sleep soundly in my crate at night—it’s my little sanctuary. I’m eagerly looking forward to more leisurely strolls and snuggles as I get healthier and prepare for my forever home. Life is just one big tail-wagging adventure!
