This week's featured pet comes from the Women's Humane Society in Bensalem.

Wiley is a 3- or 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog that loves the outdoors. Since arriving at the shelter last February, Wiley has demonstrated independence, according to Kelly VanValkenburgh, volunteers manager and adoptions counselor at the Women's Humane Society. Because of his independent nature, the shelter is considering him an outdoor pet.

The 56 pound pup needs ample room outside to exercise and enough space for an outdoor shelter. Wiley would best fit with a family that has children over the age of 11 and no other pets.

He is neutered, so the adoptive family would not have to front those costs.

If you're interested in Wiley (tag number 273), or want to learn about other animals the shelter has for adoption, visit the website for adoption procedures, to download an application, call 215-750-3100 or stop by for more information.

The Women's Humane Society is located at 3839 Richlieu Rd. in Bensalem.

Editor's Note: Wiley was still available for adoption as of Saturday, Aug. 13.
