About William

William is an adorable Chihuahua mix, approximately 4-5 months old and weighing 8 lbs. He’s learning house training and is doing well with pads but might need a bit of patience as he adjusts to outdoor potty breaks. With a stubby tail and a sweetness that shines through, he’s eager to find his forever home. Recently rescued, William faced some challenges, including malnutrition and recovery from infections. He's building strength in his back legs, which may make him slow on stairs, but don't let that fool you — he loves to play with squeaky toys and cuddle on the couch. He gets along well with other dogs, though he hasn’t met children or cats yet. William is not yet available for adoption until the event on 11/14/2026. Attending requires pre-approval. This loving pup is ready for a family that will support him through his journey. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
