Meet Willy- a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix with the perfect blend of calm and playful energy. Willy is a charming little guy ready to bring joy and companionship to a patient, loving home. He's crate trained, potty trained, and happy to relax in his cozy space while you are away. He enjoys exploring the backyard and his learning to appreciate walks at his own pace. Willy gets along with laid-back dogs who respect his space, but due to his background in a hoarding situation, he can be selective and shows some food and barrier aggression towards other animals at a gate. For this reason, Willy would thrive as an only dog or with a calm canine companion who won't challenge him around mealtimes. Though he's shy with unfamiliar people and may run to avoid interaction, Willy absolutely lights up around those he trusts. He'll be the first to greet you at the door with a wagging tail and joyful heart. Willy is looking for a home that understands his need for gentle guidance and a little time to settle in. With love, patience, and structure, Willy is sure to be your loyal, affectionate sidekick. To meet Willy or learn more, please complete an adoption application at www.ourhouseofhoperescue.net.
