Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Wawa! Wawa is a true San Diego girl who loves to lay out and bask in the sunshine. Besides being outside, Wawa also loves snuggles with her familiar people! Once she gets to know you, she would love nothing more than to spend all day just getting scratches and belly rubs! Wawa is looking for a human who will sunbathe with her in the back yard, take her on neighborhood strolls, and let her snuggle close to them during nightly Netflix binge sessions.

Although Wawa is a super sweet girl, she can initially be very shy/fearful in new environments and with new people. In care at SDHS, she has displayed signs of stress when returning to her kennel after spending time outside, and also tends to howl when left on her own. Wawa would do best with a patient family who will let her slowly adjust to her new home spaces. She is also recommended to live in a quiet household without many people coming in and out. At this time, it would be ideal for Wawa to go an adult home- teenagers would probably work, as well! Wawa has lived with other dogs, but can be very vocal and mouthy during play. For this reason, she would do best with a similarly-sized, confident dog who can easily give and accept correction. Due to her play style, she would not do well at dog parks and beaches. Wawa is not recommended to go home with cats.

Prior to adoption, you will meet with one of Wawa's trainers to learn more about her and how you can help to set her up for success in her new home. Interested? Schedule an appointment to talk with an Adoption Counselor today!
