Wilson

Written: 5/15/26 Age: 4 years Weight: 45lbs Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Meet Wilson Wilson has every reason not to trust the world... and yet all he wants is love. This sweet boy came to Beagles & Bentleys after being surrendered in Lincoln, NC in extremely rough shape following a suspected poisoning. After a hospital stay and a lot of care, Wilson is now safe and beginning his next chapter. What he needs most now is a calm, patient home where he can finally exhale. Despite everything hes been through, Wilson remains incredibly loving and deeply attached to his people. He wants to be as close to you as possible at all times, whether thats cuddling on the couch, following you around the house, or quietly resting by your side. He loves walks, bones, and soaking up affection, and as he continues to feel safer, his playful side is starting to emerge too. Wilson is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and knows sit and come. He has tested well with some dogs, but he can get nervous around dogs who come on too strong and hasnt done well with his current foster dogs, so he would likely thrive in a calmer environment with slow introductions and respectful canine companions, or potentially as the only dog. He does well with cats. Theres something incredibly special about Wilsons resilience. Even after being failed by humans, he still chooses trust, softness, and connection. What makes Wilson special: His ability to still love fully after everything hes endured Dating Headline: Burnt in the past but ready for love Superpower: Resiliency If youre looking for a loyal companion who will love deeply and appreciate every ounce of kindness, Wilson is ready to find the safe, loving home hes always deserved. He is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on core vaccinations, has been dewormed and is heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of core vaccinations, microchip, and his required neuter, along with the cost of his care while in foster. 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. Spay/Neuter Disclosure: Spay/Neuter will be scheduled when age-appropriate and is covered in the adoption fee. We require adopters to be within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach in order to complete spay/neuter with our approved clinics. Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption. 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.
