While she did enter care with another dog that she got along well with, new dogs tend to stress her out so she may do best as the only dog until she has time to fully settle in and open up. With care and understanding, Wilma will blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered.
