  — Daniel M.

• “Wilbur is a sweet boy! He loves to hug and snuggle! He thinks he is smaller than he is!“

  — Brittany H.

• “Five month old puppy (as of mid-May 2026). Mixed breed rescue with lots of energy to burn. Smart as can be and he loves attention.“

  — Deanna O.

• “Hi, I’m Wilbur! A 5 year old tri color corgi! I love running around chasing after soccer balls and playing with water. I also love rolling around in the grass.“

  — Krizia B.

• “Wilbur is the sweetest dog and very loving. He’s a staffy mixed Pitbull. Pure muscle and loves people. He needs a fenced in space to be free and run with his best friend/sister Gnash.“

  — Courtney M.

• “I’m a beagle’s beagle and sniffaris are my number one favourite thing to do! (& shnacking of course). When I’m not sniffing I’m sleeping but I’ve always got one eye on my humans and follow them wherever they go.“

  — Samantha M.

• “Wilbur loves everyone and everything. He wants to be a part of it.  He plays a lot and he plays hard.  He has been a weekly regular at Doggy Come Play daycare for his whole life and he does well in boarding with them.“

  — michael m.

• “I am a huge goofball who loves to run. Unfortunately, mom and dad don't have a fenced yard so I can't run at home. I was able to run at my grandparent's house my whole life. They had 3 acres fenced and I had a ball. Unfortunately, they have both passed away and I have nowhere to run safely.“

  — Chris R.

• “He is 1 years old. A big baby. Loves being chased! Loves sticks. Loves people and meeting new dogs. A little hyper still. But that’s common for his age. He’s still working on listening. Not nearly as advanced as brownie is in that field lol but we’re working on it! He is also my emotional therapy dog. Very loving playful soul.“

  — Betty “Jewell” A.

• “My name is Wilbur. I am a 1 1/2 year old crazy 🤪 blue. My grandma likes to take me places that I can be by myself cause I get a little crazy when im around other doggies. I have had the greatest times getting to run and play so far here at sniff spot. I hope my journey wy continues“

  — Tracy H.

• “Wilbur is our perfect gentleman. He is loving and thoughtful, and is always a caretaker of other dogs. The reason we ended up with his sister, Charlotte is because at rescue, she was very unsure about everything, and very shy, but she walked up to him immediately and hasn't left his side, since. Wilbur enjoys looking after 2-3 sisters at all times, and loves to be a good boy.“

  — Melody A.

• “I’m a 1.5 year old blue heeler/collie/mini Aussie miniature package my parent refer to as the meat missile. I loooooove to run but I have a really strong prey drive so I need an enclosed space or a controlled environment so I don’t chase a squirrel off a cliff. I like some other dogs, the ones I already know basically, or really chill dogs but I don’t do great with other high energy dogs. I love my dog sister and my people and going on new adventures but I’m slow to warm up to new people.“

  — Jenna J.

• “I'm Wilbur, but my mom calls me "The Burr!" I love people, but I find all other animals suspicious. My mom takes me to work with her every day at the vet hospital, where I love saying hi to all her coworkers who give me secret snacks (shhh, don't tell my mom). I'm convinced they're all there for me! I used to love spending time with my Labrador uncles, but they moved away last year. I do not like making animal friends. I prefer to have my mom to myself all the time. I love to sniff everything and run as fast as I can! After a long walk, I love to sunbathe until it gets too hot. You can catch me rolling around in the bark, but I prefer the grass. My mom calls me a Nosey Rosey because I'm always peeking on my neighbors through the fence and passers by. I'm a very curious and protective boy!“
