Willie

My story

Willie needs a new home after his prior owner became ill and could no longer care for him. Willie has found his way to Connecticut to find a new forever home and family. Willie is a bit of a mystery as far as his breed mix goes. He is a handsome boy with a white coat, amusing brown eye patches and black splotches on his back. He currently weighs around 38 pounds and is expected to be a medium sized dog of anywhere up to 60 pounds. He has plenty of puppy energy to go along with his sweet personality. He is happy making friends with dogs and children. It is not known whether Willie will extend his sweet temperament to cats.Willie is learning that being a good boy at home means learning his manners and he is hard at work absorbing and learning house, leash, and crate training. Puppy training requires consistent lessons with plenty of positive reinforcement. It is important to remember that rescue dogs may have accidents as they transition to a new home. If crate training is planned, Willie requires a crate that is big enough for him to turn around, stand in and lie down. Crates need to be warm welcoming places and must never be used for punishment. Willie is looking forward to joining his new home and family for fun and games and plenty of love.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Willie is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
