Meet Wiggles, a puppy with a heart full of joy and a spirit full of play! This sweet, friendly little guy is the perfect companion for a bustling household. With boundless energy, he's a great fit for a family with kids, dogs, and cats. He's always ready for a game of fetch or tug-of-war, and his love for toys is unparalleled.
Wiggles is doing great on training. He is quiet and clean in the crate, with only occasional griping about it, and house trained with regular trips outside. He is also learning to enjoy the leash and would love to join you on a walk or hike so he can get more practice! We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you!
Wiggles has a knack for making every day brighter with his playful antics and affectionate nature. He's not just a pet, but a friend who'll fill your home with laughter and love. Adopt Wiggles and discover the joy of having a loyal, loving, and lively companion by your side.
Medical Note: This dog is being treated/has been treated for demodectic mange, a non-contagious skin condition. The dog has responded well to this treatment and is ready for adoption, though may still have some bald patches and/or thin fur in places. Please note that demodex can flare up in any dog in times of stress (eg, transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption for adults or until 18 months of age for puppies. Please see here for more information on demodectic mange and talk with your Adoption Counselor about this condition. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
