Meet the adorable Willie! 🌟 This sweet baby boy has had quite the journey and is ready to find his forever home, but he needs a special human who can be patient and ready to guide him on the path to confidence. Found as a stray with no one looking for him, Willie is a diamond in the rough, and it's time he shines! 💎 Now, don’t let his shyness fool you; there’s a playful soul hiding behind that timid exterior! Willie feels the most courageous when he’s with a confident canine friend, so a furry companion in the home would definitely help him bloom. 🐾 He has a heart full of love and will gladly take treats from your hand, showing he’s ready to trust, even as he’s still discovering that gentle human touch can be a beautiful thing. At around two years old and weighing in at about 50 lbs, Willie loves spending time outdoors and will need a high and secure fence to ensure his adventurous spirit is safe while he explores the world. A little patience, understanding, and lots of love will help this little guy grow into the incredible dog he’s meant to be! ❤️ But let’s talk logistics! Willie can only be adopted locally within a 2-hour radius of the Tri-County area – and while exceptions may be made for seniors or those hard-to-place pups, we want to make sure he gets the best environment possible. Now let’s get real for a moment: if you’re interested in adopting Willie, a vet reference is a must! 🏥 Willie has a past that deserves a bright future, so don’t miss the chance to be that light. They will be adopting on Saturdays, with potential for arrangements if you want to meet a specific animal. Just remember to apply through the Buddy App to bring Willie into your home and heart. Remember, adopting a furry friend isn’t just about saving a life; it’s about adding joy to yours! 🐶✨
