Big Willie is looking for a fresh start after spending over two years in a loving home, only to be returned through no fault of his own. He’s got a shy side, especially with new people, but once he settles in and heads out for a walk, his playful nature shines through—expect a lot of body wiggles, enthusiastic kisses, and even a hug or two. Willie loves his outdoor adventures and is happiest when he’s moving, preferably with a calm, patient companion by his side. He is crate trained and has a silly streak that comes out when he’s feeling safe—he even tries to DJ by scratching at his crate tray. Willie will need to be the only dog in the home, or at most with a very submissive dog sibling, since he prefers to be in charge. His ideal family is calm and understanding, ready to reinforce good habits with positivity and give him space to build trust at his own pace. With time, you’ll find him extremely loyal and loving—a true companion looking for his forever family in Studio City, CA. Start your journey together! Apply now.
