Meet WILMA

What’s wonderful about WILMA

WHERE WILMA NEEDS EXTRA SUPPORT

Wilma’s adventurous nature is also her Achilles heel – she is curious, loves to investigate new spaces, and above all loves finding FOOD.  This girl is smart and confident, and she will thrive with people who can keep up! Her ideal family is willing to implement management in the home to prevent her from helping herself to human food and support her on walks so she doesn’t ingest anything potentially harmful.  Wilma can take a little time to form attachments to new people, but once you are Wilma’s ‘person’, she will follow you to the ends of the earth.

Home Requirements

Someone must be home the majority of the day. As with all PADS dogs that have spent their lives in the full-time company of their raisers, the living situation must accommodate not leaving Wilma alone at home for more than 4 hours/day.

A stable home environment is required. This includes regular exercise, grooming, veterinarian care, food, as well as other necessary supplies and equipment.

Released PADS dogs do not have public access, meaning they are not allowed to enter malls, restaurants, hotels, or shops that are not pet friendly. They are only permitted to go to public locations that are pet dog friendly. Before releasing a dog from our program, PADS evaluates each dog for other working careers. Wilma is not eligible for any other working career. Therefore, one of the conditions of adoption is that he may not be used by other agencies for other working roles (some exceptions may apply depending on the reasons of release, such as volunteering as a pet visitation dog).
