Wilson - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Meet Wilson!

Wilson is a four-year-old sweetie with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people. His perfect day includes chasing a ball around the backyard, going for a walk, and curling up beside you on the couch for a cozy cuddle session. Wilson came to Beagles and Bentleys from the Lincoln County, NC animal shelter after he was seized from his previous owner.

Wilson is both crate trained and house trained, and he's a polite boy who knows to sit patiently before getting a treat. He's doing well on leash and is learning to walk even more comfortably with his front-attach harness that reminds him not to pull. He doesn't guard his food or toys, and he's always happy to accept a reward - especially if it's sweet potatoes, blueberries, or chicken-free dog treats. He's also been a star at the groomer, calmly handling nail trims.

Wilson does very well with calm dogs. He is an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion who loves deeply and forms wonderful bonds with his trusted humans. He is an absolute angel.

If you're looking for a devoted best friend and are ready to help Wilson continue to thrive, he can't wait to meet you! He is such a sweet boy who loves to play, but loves to snoooooze!

Wilson is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on vaccinations, has been dewormed, and is on monthly preventatives. He has been neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $375. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dogs age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Wilson, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
