Wrigley, Shetland sheepdog and terrier mix
Wrigley is a male Shetland sheepdog and terrier mix being cared for at Priceless Pets Atlanta.
Wrigley is a social animal — he gets along well with other dogs. He already has all of his shots, and he's been neutered.
From Wrigley's caretaker:
Wrigley is a 2-3 year old mixed breed that looks like a Sheltie mixed with a small Terrier. Wrigley came from a South Georgia animal shelter. He was picked up as a stray dog, and tested positive for heartworms while there. That meant nobody would adopt him there, so he hitched a ride to Atlanta for a chance at a long and healthy life. Wrigley arrived in Atlanta on Easter Sunday and celebrated the beginning of his new life by settling into the soft sofa, exploring the backyard and basking in he sunshine. Wrigley is a gentle and sweet fellow in search of a loving home.

From Lyle's caretaker:
Hi, my name is Lyle! I am a precious one year old boy who was rescued from a hoarding case where I was one of 162 dogs in a home! Because of this, I am a shy boy but I do warm up. I follow my foster mom around the house and love to sit in her lap. I am good with other dogs and cats. I am looking for a home with a fenced in yard at this time.
