A permanent, charming wink gives this handsome face an endearing look that matches his gentle soul. Sleepover hosts describe Wheat Thin as a sweet and affectionate companion who loves being near his people and leaning in close for quiet company. This loving boy is a true couch connoisseur who spends his days dozing on your bed or stretching out for a peaceful snooze nearby. He knows "sit" and "lay down," has good leash manners, and greets visitors and children with genuine warmth. While loud noises like passing buses can make him nervous, he is steadily blossoming in a home environment and showing a newfound curiosity for toys.

Don't wait—make your move today to claim the best couch-snuggle partner in town and bring Wheat Thin home.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
