Meet Wes

  Hi I’m Wes, but everyone says I look like a Wesley.  I came to ACDRA as a stray with Heartworms.  I have had my treatment completed for heartworms and I am microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations and preventatives.    I am between 1-2 years old and very much still in puppy play mode, I can be a little too much for some dogs, so I am looking for a home with dogs that are pretty confident.   I am crate trained and house trained.  I am a little under socialized, and have not yet found a vacuum that I can be friendly with.  I  love car rides, but I can get a little anxious and bark at cars passing by.  My foster family knows this is hard for me and they are working hard to help me realize the world is a friendly place.   I am being fostered in Jessup, MD and I am looking for my forever family.  Reach out to my foster family at [email protected] if you have any questions.  Submit an application at https://acdra.org if you want to meet me.
