The time has come to start looking for Wyatt’s forever family.
This is hard, as I knew it would be, but it is even harder than I imagined it could be. There is Wyatt’s exponential growth from shut down puppy to confident young adult, his sweet, loving, loyal charm, his intelligence, his beauty and the joy his presence brings to our home and family. There is the fact that he wants affection, attention, love and all the things our other healthy dogs do. My Blake and Sawyer are very jealous of the time I spend with screens, and Wyatt is just as jealous. He is very vocal in his attempts to get my attention. WyGuy is a dog who grabs your heart and just does not let go.
Wyatt needs a family that already includes at least one dog. That will not be negotiable because it is what’s best for him. He currently lives with and adores two dogs much larger than him and two much smaller. He also needs a fenced yard. He’s a Husky X and loves the sound of his own voice, so he wouldn’t make a great apartment or condo dweller. He is a healthy, young, active dog and would do really well with a runner/hiker/cyclist. He loves the beach and off leash parks, where he is a perfect gentleman with great manners. He does well in the car as long as there is another dog with him, otherwise he is nervous and whiney.
We are still working on Wyatt’s separation anxiety. Now that he has finally found the love, attention, affection and protection all dogs need, it is super hard for him when he can’t see the sources of all the good stuff. He can be a little destructive if he gets too panicked, so this issue is still top of mind. He can’t handle the stress of being crated, so other methods of desensitization need to be used. Two things work in WyGuy’s favour: he is very, very smart and he is eager to please.
Wyatt is a raw fed dog, approximately 60 lbs., with a slight build and a beautiful double coat. He is on the smaller end of medium, just the right size to be a bed buddy. He has learned that cuddling on the couch watching a ball game and stealing kisses is a great way to pass an afternoon.
We would love to have Wyatt stay on Gali, just so that we might be able to see him now and then, but he will find his forever family wherever it is, and we will be thrilled for him.
Good boy, Wyatt.
