Wilma is a 6-year-old mixed-breed Doberman Pinscher with a gentle and thoughtful nature. She’s a gentle soul who is still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place, and she grows braver with each passing day. While many dogs her age already know the joy of toys and walks, Wilma is beginning to discover these things at her own pace, and we see her learning every day.
Wilma truly shines during quiet, cozy moments. Some of her favourite things include relaxing in her bed, enjoying tasty treats and snacks, working on a Kong, and spending time with her beloved sisters. She came into our care alongside three other dogs, and despite an unstable past, the bond between them has been a source of great comfort. Watching her sisters gain confidence has helped Wilma do the same, often by following their lead and finding the courage to try something new.
Wilma is sweet and calm, and as her confidence continues to grow, she has begun to show glimpses of her playful side. She enjoys quiet companionship and is happiest in a peaceful environment where she can feel safe and supported.
Since Wilma came into care with her siblings, a home with a calm, confident dog may be beneficial for her, provided slow and proper introductions are done. An understanding family that is prepared to take things slowly and guide her through this next chapter will be essential in helping Wilma truly thrive.
