Willie

Willie

Willie is approximately 7 years old and is as gentle as he is handsome. Belly rubs and love is all this man is looking for.  He is up to date on his shots, hw- and neutered. Triathaletes and marathon runners need not apply, Willie is a marathon napper! While he does enjoy a nice stroll in the cool afternoons, lounging on his favorite blanket is his idea of a good time. We call him “Thumper” for his tail thumping the ground  whenever ANYONE gets in his view. That thumping is a welcome home greeting his foster mommy will miss very much.

Belly rubs from EVERYONE is all he is concerned with. Unfortunately it hasn’t always been belly rubs and afternoon strolls for Willie. He wandered up to a wonderful lady’s home in NW Florida in awful condition. He was underweight, covered in fleas, and had an awful skin infection from his chin to his tail which caused hair loss, inflamed skin and itchy sores. Some medicine, a few baths and some TLC and Willie will be as good as new and ready for his new FOREVER home.

It appears as though Willie’s teeth have been manipulated in some way or are just very off but we will never know. There’s a good chance he may have lived his life at the end of a chain and possibly chewed his way to freedom.  We will never really know what he’s been through, but we can change this sweet boys future!

Willie gets along GREAT with other dogs big and small. He is a very gentle guy that will make the perfect addition to almost any family.
