Wiley - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Twentynine Palms, California

Wiley is a sweet shepherd mix with a gentle, shy soul. He can be a little timid and very submissive, but once you give him some love, he absolutely melts! He happily allows all the pets, and although he may be a little unsure at first, his tail starts wagging and he'll come up to you for more affection.

Wiley already knows sit, down, and paw, showing us what a smart boy he is. He's new here, but he has quickly become a staff favorite--and it's easy to see why.

This gentle guy is hoping to find someone who will give him the patience, love, and confidence to blossom into the wonderful companion we know he can be. ❤️
