About Wilbur

Rottweiler mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Beautiful senior Wilbur spent 6 years in a shelter, more than half of his life has been behind bars in a facility. After so many years in a shelter, Wilbur takes time to warm up to new people and is aloof with strangers. He enjoys affection from people he trusts but does not like to be fussed over. He is great on a leash, housebroken, knows some basic commands, loves rolling in grass, loves taking walks on the beach and is overall easygoing. Wilbur does guard his food so needs someone who is familiar with this behavior and can follow instructions to work through this with him. At 9 years old, Wilbur is slowing down, going gray and would love to finally live in the comfort of his own home. He is looking for a calm home where he can live out the rest of his days in peace and quiet with a patient person who will allow him to open up at his own pace. Someone who has large dog experience is ideal. Since Wilbur is older, a place without stairs or a place with an elevator is needed. Please do not let his age or need for patience discourage you from considering foster/adoption. He is a very good boy who has never been given the right opportunity to live a normal life.
