Foster Home Feedback
Special Note: Wylie previously lived with another dog, however is now in a foster home with no other pets. We have evaluated Wylie's dog friendliness, and while he tolerates other dogs, he is more interested in people. I introduced him to my female dog and he properly said hello with butt sniffs but after the quick initial "hello" he ignored her the rest of the time they were together. After about 10 minutes, my dog did sniff Wylie's rear end and he gave her a warning growl, she walked away, and he continued to sniff around, play ball, etc. I believe Wylie could live with another dog with slow, proper introductions and integration into a home with another dog, however Wylie is not a dog that will play or cuddle with other dogs. If you are looking for a playmate/companion for your dog, or a dog that will actively socialize with other dogs, Wylie is not a good fit. However, Wylie is typical lab in that he loves people and his tennis ball, and would make a great family dog!
3/25/2023 Foster Feedback: I've had Wylie for almost a week now, and so far so good! Is is really a good boy, very loving and cute. He is overweight, but I was given weight control food when picking him up, he eats it fine and hopefully that combined with lots of walks and play time will help him get down to a healthy weight. With that information, he is very food motivated when it comes to getting him to do things like get in the car/kennel/what have you.
He is housebroken, zero accidents in the house so far. When he has to go, he stands by the door and barks.
He LOVES balls and playing fetch. My young son was intimidated by Wylie's size for a little bit, but once he found out how much fun it was to throw the ball around and play, they became good pals. Wylie is very sweet to anyone and everyone. If we're out walking and another dog barks at him, he puts his tail down and whines rather than getting aggressive back.
Overall he's a very good, loving boy. He knows the command "sit", but that seems to be it.
