About Willie

Meet Willie, a gentle giant with a heart of gold. This laid-back Poodle is known for his serene demeanor. While he loves to spend time outside in the garden, he takes his time sniffing every weed, sometimes twice. Willie is a great listener, learning commands like come, sit, and stay, and enjoys exploring his surroundings between naps. Despite being a "Toothless dog," he loves a good chew toy or a tasty treat like plain Greek yogurt with a dash of pumpkin. He’s not just independent; he’s a loyal companion, making him a wonderful addition to almost any family. Willie must be adopted with his bonded partner, Reba, as they share a deep connection. Their home should include a physically fenced yard for safety. Both dogs are well-socialized, up to date on vaccinations, and spayed. They may need a bit of time to adjust but with understanding and patience, they’ll settle in beautifully. Don't miss the chance to give Willie and Reba the forever home they deserve.
