About Willett

Willett has a foster-to-adopt option so you can spend time together before making things permanent. She’s a 13-year-old Hound/Pointer mix with a history that will stop you in your tracks. After many stable years in a dedicated home, Willett lost her person and returned to rescue. She’s waited three years for someone to bring her home again. Fully house trained and independent, Willett delivers a mellow presence without demanding a lot of attention. She likes to unwind by the bench during walks and keeps herself entertained with birdwatching—sometimes letting out a bark or two to comment on the action. Willett’s happiest as the only pet in a low-traffic, adult-only home. She’s gentle but values her peace, and isn’t keen on regular visitors or sharing her space with other animals. Willett suits someone wanting quiet companionship and steady routine. She’s spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations. At 64 lbs and about 13 years old (born April 1, 2013, which makes her a determined Aries), she’s earned a calm, loving home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
