About Willy

Willy is a sweet adult Akita, around 4-5 years old, who weighs about 55 lbs. Rescued as a stray, he’s had a rough start, arriving with a flea infestation and other health issues that are now being treated. He’s shown fantastic progress and has charmed everyone at the shelter. Visitors consistently remark, "That's the nicest Akita I've ever met!" Willy has gotten along with other dogs during his stay, although a meet-and-greet with resident pets is encouraged to ensure compatibility. While he needs some training and basic house manners, he's eager to learn and just waiting for the right family to guide him. Willy may not be house trained yet, so a patient family is essential. Willy is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a new home. Remember, adopting requires an in-person visit to finalize the process. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, consider giving Willy a chance. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
