About Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson is an adorable small-breed puppy, currently 11 weeks old and weighing about 7 pounds. His delicate size means he’s best suited for a home without young children, as rough play could lead to injuries. An active home with older kids who understand how to handle small dogs would be ideal. Willie is playful and would thrive with another small, young dog as a companion. It's important to remember that small breeds like Willie often live for 16–18 years. This commitment is significant, and we want to ensure he finds a forever home where he won’t be rehomed later on. These puppies were originally found on the side of a freeway, and while we speculate Willie might be a Maltese mix, we're working on getting to know him better. If you have previous experience with small breeds and can provide a loving, safe environment, this little guy might just be the companion you’ve been looking for! Thank you for considering giving him the loving home he deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
