About William

William is a cream and apricot poodle-terrier mix who is wonderfully soft, like a cotton ball. This little guy, at just under four pounds, is a bundle of joy known for his playful, happy personality. He enjoys wrestling with his sister, Gabby, and gets along well with other active dogs. William's energy levels are high when he's awake, but he’s also a champion napper. He is currently being crate trained and is making great strides with potty training, utilizing potty pads when necessary but starting to hold it longer until he's outside. Not often vocal, he will occasionally join in when his sister barks. William is a top-notch snuggler who adores belly rubs. He's ready to bring his joy to a loving family! You can meet him at the mobile adoption event on Saturday, November 14th, at Woodlands Pet Food & Treats in Greenbrae from 12-3 PM, unless he finds his forever home first. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
