About Wonka

Wonka is sweet, playful, and ready to steal your heart! This 7-month-old, 39 lb Shepherd mix has classic goofy puppy energy and an even sweeter personality. Because Wonka didn’t have a ton of human interaction early on, he’s still building confidence—but he warms up fast and is eager to learn. He’s smart, food-motivated, and young enough to soak up training. He’s house-trained using a dog door, and crates like a champ during mealtime and naps. Now that he is older, he has been allowed to have free range of the house and doing great.He absolutely loves chewing on toys, wrestling with his dog friends, and then winding down with some quality snuggle time once playtime is over. He walks great on a leash and looks for approval and direction while on leash. A secure fenced yard will be required to help him feel safe as he continues to grow and explore the world.Wonka has a great history with other dogs, so new dogs coming and going don’t phase him at all. He will require a resident dog in his future home to help him contine to build confidence.He’s also lived with cats and does just fine, mostly minding his own business. Kids are fine too! He’s done well with children ages 6–18 and enjoys the attention and activity.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, dog-friendly, kid-friendly pup who’s equal parts playmate and cuddle buddy, Wonka is ready to be your golden ticket.If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
