HEADLINER: Lovable, long-eared Wade Wilson!

HISTORY: Wade was surrendered to a shelter with his brother Logan (apparently his previous dad was a superhero fan and named them after Deadpool and Wolverine!) This 6-month old Great Dane cutie won’t quiz you on comic books and movies though – he just wants to know if you’re ready to welcome him to your family!

PERSONALITY: Fun-loving, affectionate pup with long ears and even longer legs is looking for a home where he can grow into his big feet! If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy who also loves to play, Wade’s your guy! He’s smart puppy and is a good listener! Among the words he understands: “sit”, “no”, and his favorite – “want a treat?!”

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Like his namesake Deadpool, Wade Wilson is just out to have fun! His love for playing with stuffed dog toys is second only to his love of food! He’s very food motivated and sits quickly for treats without being asked when he thinks there’s a chance to get one! He’s very affectionate and eager to please. He’s happy to give you a kiss or let you give him a hug. He’s got a beautiful, shiny coat and appreciates hearing how handsome he is while you pet him and stroke his loppy ears. He loves being outside, particularly on sunny days, and when he’s inside, you can find him either playing by himself or with his people, or most likely napping on a dog bed. He’s a quiet boy – not much of a barker (unless you’re a hair dryer or a Roomba!). He’s still a baby, but growing up fast and making great progress on his housebreaking.

MEDICAL ISSUES: None.

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: If you’re looking for a buddy to love on, play with and snuggle, then Wade Wilson is your guy! He would be happy with a family who likes to be affectionate and share their lives with their doggy companion. He would love if his family has a yard and/or likes to go on walks. He won’t mind whether or not you have other dogs.
