MR WIGGLES

Here’s the story of Mr Wiggles and his life since being re-homed from Moorview to his new forever home!

“We adopted Mr Wiggles back in February 2017. We had just very recently lost our family dog of 13 years and we all had a hole in hearts that only a dog could fill.

I was just scrolling through the internet looking for the perfect rescue dog and up popped Mr Wiggles. A day later we went to visit Mr Wiggles, and it was safe to say we all fell in love with him.

He was parading around the cuddle room with two tennis balls in his mouth before finally settling down on my brother’s lap. It was love at first sight. Then and there we knew Mr Wiggles was the dog for us and that day he came home with us.

It was love at first sight.

We were told Mr Wiggles was possibly used as bait in dog fighting and due to that he was terrified of other dogs. But, slowly over the years, with training and reassurance he had become less reactive but unfortunately we don’t think he will ever be able to socialise with other dogs.

Luckily for Mr Wiggles, we are very understanding family and would never put him in a situation we know he wouldn't be comfortable in. Instead, we just shower him with love, kisses and cuddles.

He is now officially king of the sofa and every time we go to the pet shop he knows he will get a new toy and his favourite treat which is a rice bone. Mr Wiggles may not be the perfect dog, but he is perfect for our family and we wouldn't swap him for the world!”
