About Willie

Willie is a shy but sweet soul who found his way to safety from a rural shelter. He and his brother were terrified in their previous surroundings, but Willie has made significant strides in his foster home. At one year old, he is still learning about trust and love, and he thrives with patient humans who understand that he may need a bit of time to feel comfortable. This medium-sized boy is very dog-friendly and enjoys interacting with both cats and older kids (8+). He is crate, potty, and leash trained, making him well-prepared for a loving home. While he might be a bit timid, Willie slowly seeks out cozy spots for snuggles on the couch or bed and would love a yard to play in alongside at least one other dog. Meet and greets and adoption trials are available if you want to see if Willie is the right match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
