About Willie

Willie is a gentle and affectionate 1-year-old hound mix, weighing in at 52 pounds. He delights in the company of both dogs and humans, whether they are young or old. This lovable guy is neutered and fully potty-trained, making him a great addition to a family. He's still working on his excitement levels, which can sometimes lead him to playfully nip or "hug" when he's thrilled. This means he might not be the best choice for small children who aren't accustomed to larger dogs. At the end of a busy day, Willie loves nothing more than curling up beside his humans for a cozy snuggle. The adoption fee is $375, covering his spay/neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines. This fee helps support our foster-based rescue system in Ohio. If you’re interested in welcoming Willie into your home, reach out to get started on the adoption process.
