ADOPT SKETCH

Sketch is a 2-year-old, 8-pound female wire-haired terrier mix who is a tiny ball of personality. She is incredibly friendly, confident, affectionate, and always ready for whatever the day has in store. She loves people, is wonderful with children of all ages, and has never met a stranger.

Sketch is great with other dogs and loves a good game of chase. Don’t let those little legs fool you, she is FAST! She respects other dogs’ boundaries and could happily live with a canine friend or be a solo dog. She loves zooming around the yard, but does not need a fenced yard. She’s medium energy and equally happy going for a walk, car ride, or hanging out at home. She hasn’t been exposed to cats.

Sketch loves being close to her people. She’ll follow you around, curl up beside you, give plenty of kisses, and has been known to launch herself directly into your lap like a tiny flying squirrel. She does well when left home, is not destructive, and is comfortable being handled.

Her house training is going well and she’ll just need continued consistency. Her leash skills are improving, although she occasionally still thinks she’s attached to a bungee cord and jets in whatever direction strikes her fancy. She is also working on overnight crate training and may whimper for reassurance, but settles quickly when she knows someone is nearby.

Could this spunky, affectionate little charmer be the missing piece in your family?

Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.
