Meet Wilbur! Some dogs steal your heart the moment you meet them—and Wilbur is one of them. This adorable 10-month-old Pit Bull mix is a gentle soul who's still discovering just how wonderful the world can be. While he may be a little shy when meeting new people, it doesn't take long before his sweet personality shines through. Give him a little patience, and you'll soon have a loyal best friend leaning into your side, resting his head in your lap, and asking for just one more scratch behind the ears. Wilbur has a quiet confidence that's still growing. He's thoughtful in new situations and prefers to get to know people at his own pace, but once he realizes you're a friend, he's incredibly affectionate. He loves to lean into his people for comfort and happily soaks up gentle attention. At just 10 months old, Wilbur is still very much a puppy—but he's already shown wonderful manners. He's easy to leash, handles new experiences with patience, and has a softer, calmer play style than many dogs his age. He also enjoys toys and loves spending time having fun with his favorite people. Wilbur has done well meeting other dogs and enjoys playful interactions. He approaches politely and has shown he can make canine friends with proper introductions. A playful dog sibling could be a wonderful match for him. As he continues to grow, Wilbur will benefit from positive experiences, ongoing socialization, and gentle introductions to new people and places. He's looking for a family who understands that confidence isn't built overnight and is willing to let him blossom at his own pace.Wilbur was observed favoring one of his back legs during his evaluation, so his future family should speak with shelter staff regarding his medical notes and any recommended follow-up care. Wilbur has all the makings of an incredible lifelong companion. Behind those soulful eyes is a puppy who's simply waiting for someone to believe in him. With love, patience, and a little encouragement, he'll reward his new family with unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a lifetime of happy memories. If you're looking for a gentle heart wrapped in an adorable puppy package, Wilbur can't wait to meet you.
