Foster or Adopter Needed for Wilson for 5/29 Transport

Wilson is currently at a kill shelter in Georgia and needs a committed foster or adopter to secure his spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 5/29. This sweet boy has already been through more than any puppy should, and now he just needs someone willing to give him a chance.

Meet Wilson

Wilson is a 6-month-old Pit/Lab mix with the sweetest personality and a heart full of love. He was found alone in a wildlife management area out in the middle of nowhere, likely dumped after someone no longer wanted him. When he arrived at the shelter, he was severely malnourished and covered in multiple wounds and pressure sores on his legs and backside, likely from laying on hard ground for long periods of time with little body fat for cushioning.

Despite everything he has endured, Wilson has remained incredibly friendly, happy, and affectionate. He is responding very well to treatment, working hard on gaining weight, and healing up beautifully. Through it all, he continues to wag his tail and soak up attention from everyone he meets.

Wilson is expected to grow into a very large dog, with the vet estimating he could reach around 90 pounds when fully grown. He is still very much a typical puppy and will need continued training, structure, and patience as he learns all the important puppy things.

Age: 6 months
Gender: Male (not yet neutered)
Weight: 30 lbs (currently underweight)
Breed: Pitbull/Lab Mix
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes
Good with Cats: Not tested yet, but can be tested if needed
Potty Trained: Unsure
Crate Trained: Unsure
Leash Manners: Working on it

Wilson has such an awesome personality and truly deserves a fresh start after the life he has had so far. He is looking for a foster or adopter willing to help him continue healing and finally experience what it means to be loved and safe.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $125 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
