About Willie

Meet Willie, a loyal companion looking for a quieter home. This affectionate 5-year-old Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix prefers to be your right-hand man rather than the life of the party. Willie enjoys leisurely walks and is happiest riding shotgun in the car. Although he has a soft spot for men, he would thrive with anyone seeking a devoted buddy, but it’s important to note he’s not comfortable around young girls due to a past experience. Willie is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down. He remains calm when left alone and has previously lived with another dog. He seems a bit nervous around cats but could likely coexist with a more laid-back feline companion. Willie has a special dietary requirement; he needs a salmon-based diet to avoid flare-ups from chicken. If you're ready for a sweet buddy who enjoys the simple pleasures of life, Willie could be the perfect addition to your home. Don't miss the chance to give him the loving environment he deserves!
