Meet Wyatt: The Chill Housemate with a (Totally Justified) Fear of Garbage Trucks!!
Wyatt is the perfect combination of cool, calm, and cuddly—with just a touch of quirkiness to keep things interesting. This guy is crate-trained, but honestly? He doesn’t even need it. Leave him free in the house, and he’ll prove he’s more reliable than your teenager. No chewed-up shoes, no missing couch cushions—just Wyatt being his sweet, non-destructive self.
But let’s talk about his one “tiny” hang-up: garbage trucks. Big, loud vehicles? No thanks. Wyatt might be a brave boy when it comes to guarding the house from imaginary intruders, but those roaring, clunky behemoths are a hard pass. Luckily, he has meds to help him stay zen when trash day rolls around. (Hey, we all have our coping mechanisms, right?). He doesn't care as long as there is a wall between him and big trucks.
A Few Reasons You’ll Love Wyatt:
-Household MVP: Zero mess, zero destruction, 100% good vibes.
-Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite show or working from home, or going for a hike, Wyatt’s got your back (and your lap, if you let him).
-Easy Keeper: Crate trained? Check. Chill on his own? Double check.
-Wyatt’s ready to bring his quirks, cuddles, and unmatched house manners into your life. If you’re looking for a dog who’s low-maintenance but high on love, Wyatt’s your guy. Just don’t expect him to help you take out the trash.
Howdy! My name is Wyatt! I'm a charming chocolate Labrador mix with a beautiful brown coat. At just over 1.5 years old and weighing about 65 lbs, I'm the perfect mix of energy and affection.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
