🌟 Meet Willie! 🌟 This handsome Catahoula mix is not just an ordinary dog; he’s a treasure waiting to be discovered! With a sweet and gentle spirit, Willie embodies calmness and love like no other. Coming from a past where he needed to leave behind nine of his furry companions, he’s ready to turn a new leaf and embrace the joys of family life. Who wouldn’t want a loyal buddy like him by their side? At first glance, Willie might seem a little shy, but give him a moment, and watch that gentle personality light up! Once he feels that love and trust, he’s all about lounging and soaking in the affection from those special to him. And the best part? Willie rarely barks, making him the ideal companion for someone who cherishes the beauty of quiet moments and the warm embrace of companionship. 🌼 He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, too—so if there are furry friends in the household, it’s a match made in heaven! 🐾 However, due to a bit of unsocialization in his previous life, Willie will need some extra TLC and guidance to polish his leash manners and learn those basic commands. But don't worry! With your love, time, and positive vibes, Willie will thrive and blossom into a self-assured companion. 💖 His adoption fee is $300, which covers his neutering, negative heartworm test, current vaccines, and prevention (shoutout to ProHeart and Bravecto!). Though he’s located in Texas, Willie’s heart is big enough to travel to you, as he’s eligible for transport to Washington, Portland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, and anywhere along the East Coast! Just a heads up: there’s an additional transport fee of $225, and unfortunately, we can’t transport him to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations. So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home to Willie, this gentle soul can’t wait to meet his forever family! Let’s give him the love he deserves. 💕 You can’t miss out on this delightful boy!
