Meet Willie: The Squeaky Toy Connoisseur!
If you're looking for a pup who lives life in the fast lane, Willie's your guy! This fun-loving, high-energy goofball is always on the move, chasing squeaky toys, zipping around the yard, or following his nose in search of snacks. Willie is incredibly food motivated (did someone say treats?) and is always up for learning new tricks, especially if there's a tasty reward involved!
He brings playful energy to every moment and will thrive in a home where he can stay active and engaged. Willie is the younger half of a dynamic duo and is looking for a home with his best friend, Waylon, by his side. They're a perfect balance, Willie's the life of the party, and Waylon is the calm in the storm. Come by the shelter and meet this pair today!
