About Willie

Willie is a long-legged, bowl-carrying character with a knack for mischief and a heart full of charm. He's a two-year-old Coonhound mix—maybe with a dash of Great Dane, given those endless legs—and weighs in around 75 lbs. Watching him run is like seeing a giraffe attempt zoomies: completely entertaining and a little clumsy, in the best possible way. People are Willie's favorite, and he shines brightest when he's the center of attention, especially if there’s a ball to chase or someone to follow around the house. He brings playfulness and laughter wherever he goes. Fetch is always on the menu, and he takes pride in showing off his silly side. If you’re looking for companionship, Willie is happy to be your shadow. He’s also a fence escape artist—scaling, climbing, and jumping are all in his wheelhouse. That means he’ll need a yard with serious security, or to be supervised outside. Willie's mealtime routine is a spectacle of its own: he picks up his bowl, carries it to his chosen spot, and dines with odd but endearing manners. He’s fully vetted and ready for an active home that can appreciate his quirks, spend time with him, and keep him safely contained. If you want a dog who’ll make every day more interesting, Willie’s waiting in Cleveland, TN. Fun fact: Willie is a Sagittarius, which explains a lot about his adventurous, happy-go-lucky personality.
