Wonder - Staying With Owner


Name: Wonder
Age: 1-2 years
Breed: Black Labrador
Sex: Male (not altered)
Location: Monroe, NC

Vet Info: Wonder is not neutered.  His finder writes that she has given him a vaccine.  He has not yet been heartworm tested.  Wonder weighs about 65 pounds. 

Owner Info: Wonder is a very handsome and very sweet fellow who was found running on the highway in not very good condition.  His finders have cleaned him up and treated his wounds, gave him a vaccine, wormed him, and started him on flea and tick preventative.  They are very much hoping to find a place for him to go!  They are unable to keep him because of their other dogs.  

They have tried to find his owner, but they write, "I do not feel like the owners will even try to find him with the condition he was in when we found him."

Wonder appears completely blind, and his finders tell us his eyes don't seem to bother him.  They are unsure of the cause of his blindness.  Other than his blindness, they tell us that he's in great health.

Wonder is not yet housebroken or leash trained.  "He is outside in a crate during the night and inside on lead during the day. He doesn't walk around the house because he doesn't want to. I am teaching him to sit and give paw. He is learning to use me as his eyes."

Wonder is a very friendly and sweet fellow, and good with people of all ages!  He's also good with male and female dogs, and lives with several other dogs.  He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.  His finders tell us, "We have had him in many situations to test his temperament and he has handled every situation very well with no biting, no fear, no attempt to growl or show discomfort. He has been around goats, small dogs, medium sized dogs and large dogs. He has also been around children ages 8 months to 9 years. He has handled everything perfectly."

His finders also write that he's a real sweetheart!  "He is very loving and happy....He is a good boy. It seems like his life has been rough but his spirits are high. You will fall in love. It's hard not to."
