WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care.Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.NAME: Fuddy DuddyBREED: DachshundDOB: Mar 15, 2021 (4 years 10 months)Home Recommendation: Fuddy Duddy's most important part of his journey will be building trust. His new family may need a little patience as he learns that hes safe and loved, but that trust will come with time and consistency. Even now, his curiosity is beginning to shine through, and its clear theres a sweet, thoughtful pup underneath it all. WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Fuddy Duddy spent his entire life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill. When his 'breeders' decided they no longer had a use for him, they planned to discard him. Thankfully, WISE was able to step in and rescue him giving him a second chance to experience the love and warmth of a real home. Now hes ready to start that new chapter!Personality: Fuddy Duddy is an incredibly sweet dog with the most expressive eyes. He shows no aggressive behavior at all, but he is still very nervous and learning to feel safe. He enjoys running down the hallway and exploring the apartment, letting his curiosity peek through, even though getting physically close to him can still be a challenge. Petting moments are becoming more frequent, but when he feels unsure, he often retreats to his crate, which is his safe space. With patience and kindness, Fuddy Duddy will continue to gain confidence and show more of his gentle personality.KIDS: Yes, 10+DOGS: Yes, best with calm dog CATS: YesTraining: Fuddy Duddy is doing well using pee pads, especially overnight, and has a healthy appetite.
