Notes from Back The Blue Pet Rescue

FROM FORGOTTEN TO FOREVER ❤️ MEET WILDER!

Wilder’s story breaks our hearts, but we know his future can be so much brighter.

This sweet 1.2-year-old Poodle weighs just 17 pounds and is an absolute love bug and lap dog . Wilder is crate trained , loves other dogs, and wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He does like to chase cats to play, so a home with cat experience or careful supervision would be best.

Sadly, Wilder was left behind when his owners moved. He was forced to fend for himself in a neighborhood until someone finally noticed him and brought him to safety. By the time he was rescued, his coat was horribly matted and filled with debris, including urine and feces , and he had to be completely shaved down.

Despite everything he has been through, Wilder is still full of love. He is sweet, affectionate, and ready to put his past behind him. We will be sharing his before photos , because his transformation tells an important part of his story—but what we really want everyone to see is the beautiful soul underneath.

Wilder deserved so much more than being left behind. Now, he deserves a family who will never make him wonder if he matters again.

Could you be the one to give Wilder the safe, loving forever home he has always deserved? ❤️
