Meet the charming Willie! 🌟 This delightful 1-year-old Maltese-Shih Tzu mix weighs in at a cuddly 12.4 lbs and is just waiting for the right home to shine his light. Willie is a perfect blend of playfulness and gentility, and his heart is bursting with sweetness. Just imagine the joy he brings as he frolics with his furry friends, toys in tow, ready to explore every corner of your yard! If he had his dream come true, he'd want a household bustling with 15 playful pups! 🐶💕 But here’s the thing about our shy friend Willie—he’s still learning the ropes when it comes to trusting humans. Initially, he might not run to greet you, so having another confident dog around will help him blossom! 🌼 A calm environment is key, particularly one without men, as that’s where he feels most secure. A securely fenced yard is an absolute must! This will not only keep him safe while he builds his confidence but also help with his potty training. He’s making great progress, but like any spirited young pup, there may still be the occasional adventure behind the couch! 😂 A patient and compassionate owner, couple, or family without kids is ideal for Willie, ensuring he gets all the reassurance he needs to flourish. Just a little heads up—he may get a bit defensive if he feels cornered, but with love and understanding, he’ll transform into a loyal companion. If you’re ready to dive into a beautiful journey of friendship with this sweet boy, Willie just might be the one you’ve been waiting for! 🥰 Don’t forget, this sweet soul needs an experienced owner who can offer the love and patience he deserves. Willie comes with an adoption fee of $350 + tax, and to give this lovable guy his forever home, be sure to apply through the Buddy App—your future best friend is just a tap away!
