About Wilie

Wilie is a charming foxhound hailing from southwest Virginia. His sweet and friendly demeanor makes him a delightful companion. At the shelter, he was calm and got along well with the other dogs, which speaks to his good nature. Now in a foster home in Virginia, his foster mom has observed how well he interacts with both men and women, showcasing his sociability. Wilie is housebroken and is currently honing his leash skills. Neutered before reaching the shelter, a rarity in rural areas, he seems to have been well taken care of previously. Around 4 years old and weighing approximately 50 lbs, he’s a medium-sized dog with a lovely tricolor coat. He's set to arrive in Massachusetts in late October, ready for his forever home.
