HAPPY UPDATE! We are so happy for Wilbur to have found his new family. They have the love and time to devote to this sweet boy and we thank them and wish them the very best!

Meet Wilbur!!! He is named after the famous Wilbur Chocolate Factory in Lititz, PA

Wilbur is a gorgeous Chocolate Lab who is just a young fella. The veterinarian places him from 1-2 years old and Wilbur weighs 60#. Poor Wilbur was turned into the pound as an owner surrender as no one had time for him. As you can see, Wilbur could use a few more pounds on that beautiful Lab body.

You could not ask for more as Wilbur is a very smart, trainable dog. He just loves playing with cats, dogs and absolutely adores children. AND!!! He is housebroken!

Wilbur just loves to run and play. Inside he has become very calm and is satisfied with just being around anyone. He loves his belly rubbed and he likes to lay in bed with you. Wilbur will be a match if crate training is a requirement of the adopter.

Wilbur is ready to give you all the love he has. Won't you please condsider giving a loving home that he so deserves? You won't be sorry! Wilbur has so much to give.

WILBUR IS BEING FOSTERED IN GREEN CASTLE, PA AND MUST BE PICKED UP AT THAT LOCATION.
