About Willie
Meet Willie. Willie is a gentle, affectionate 2-year-old boy weighing about 23 lbs, eager to find a loving home where he can thrive. Recently, Willie lost his left eye due to an accident, making him adjust to life with limited vision. He’s learning to navigate his surroundings, but new places can make him hesitant. With a little reassurance, he steadily builds his bravery. Around the house, Willie is settling in and getting more comfortable. He’s mostly house trained but is still refining his signals to go outside. One small challenge is a step leading to the deck, but encouragement helps him gain confidence. Willie has a playful spirit and has fun with toys, especially balls. He also enjoys safe chew toys and is improving his manners with gentle guidance. At heart, he wants to be your cuddle buddy. Once he feels secure, his affectionate side shines through. He does well with other pets, having been indifferent around resident cats and inviting a small dog to play, even if the invitation went unanswered. While he’s friendly, a calmer environment might suit him best, so a home without young children would be ideal. This special dog with a loving heart is ready to bring joy into your life with a little patience as he continues to adapt. You’ll be rewarded with a loyal companion who’s making remarkable progress every day.
