Wilson

My story

LOCATION: Minden, LouisianaDOB: 06/15/2020 (Estimate)How is Wilson still waiting for his forever home? It’s a mystery indeed! Wilson is the kind of dog who effortlessly steals hearts with his quirky charm, sweet nature, and signature “Willie wiggles” that make every morning brighter. A black-and-white Great Dane with a freckled bib, his expression effortlessly shifts from playfully goofy to adorably serious, creating a perfect blend of personality.For the last three years, Wilson has patiently waited for the right family to recognize just how special he is. Affectionately known as Willy, he is a gentle soul who thrives on love, though he’s taken his time learning to trust and embrace affection fully. His foster mom calls him her “baby doll” and “special boy” for good reason—his submissive nature, soft heart, and unwavering loyalty make him an absolute gem.Willy has a few quirks that only add to his charm. He’s a self-proclaimed collector, hoarding toys, towels, shoes—really, any treasures he can gather into his personal pile. And crinkly toys? They’re his absolute favorite, providing endless entertainment. While he initially preferred the company of women, he’s growing more confident around new people, no longer retreating to his crate but instead lounging nearby, eager to observe the world around him. He’s incredibly gentle with toddlers, great with older, respectful children, and enjoys playing with other dogs. Cats? He happily ignores them, making him an easy fit for feline-friendly homes.Wilson’s house manners are impeccable, though his resourceful tendencies mean he’s crated when unsupervised to prevent impromptu treasure hunts. He’s a dream on the leash, a perfect walking companion, though car rides aren’t yet his favorite—but he’s learning! His gentle, somewhat skittish nature means he’ll thrive in a home with a secure six-foot fence to keep him safe.Wilson is truly one-of-a-kind, an endearing blend of silly, sweet, and soulful. He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to the right family—the one who sees his quirks, celebrates his softness, and welcomes him wholeheartedly. If you’re looking for a companion with a heart of gold and a playful spirit, Wilson is waiting, paws at the ready, to finally head home.Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
