About Willy
What are you waiting for? Apply today! Willy is currently enjoying life at the adoption center in SoHo, giving everyone a chance to watch him blossom at his own pace. At nine years old and a bit over 60 pounds, he’s still settling in, getting used to new faces, sounds, and routines. Every day brings out more of who he really is as he relaxes and decompresses in this caring environment. From foster care, Willy’s gentle and affectionate nature has truly shone through. He’s described as a big cuddlebug, wanting nothing more than to snuggle up beside you on the couch or happily sit at your feet wherever you are—even joining in for a shower if you leave the door open. He’s a great walker with a joyful bounce, delighting people as he passes by. After just a little time, his playful, puppy-like side emerges, making him a fun companion who adores toys and playing with water. He’s a quick learner, picking up commands like 'sit' and 'stay' with ease, and responds well to training. Willy balances his energy levels—enjoying long, leisurely walks that usually end with sunbathing in the park—and then switches to his end-of-day cuddle mode. One dog walker noted his amazing temperament and remarked on how easy he is to handle, as he stays by your side and behaves beautifully around children. He’s cherished for his unique blend of puppy playfulness and the serene comfort of a couch potato—the perfect friend for both active outings and quiet evenings at home. You can meet Willy at the Best Friends New York Soho Lifesaving Center, 307 West Broadway. The center welcomes visitors daily from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, and there’s no appointment necessary, though pets cannot be held or reserved. Stop by and see if Willy is the perfect companion you’ve been looking for! Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
