My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BORN INTO POVERTY ON EASTER SUNDAY IN THE RURAL SOUTH. These 3 littermates (Willie, Waylon, and Hank) were living in unbelievably squalid conditions with a very poor, disabled couple trying to care for too many small, mixed-breed dogs they'd “rescued”. They surrendered them to ETAA when they realized they were overwhelmed. We have arranged to get 7 of the females spayed to prevent more litters and we appreciate that because of their love for the dogs, this couple cared enough to call us.

We named this boy Willie after the country singer, Willie Nelson (the outlaw) because of his independence and spunky attitude. Of the 3 siblings, Willie is the most outgoing and adventurous. He's the first one to greet me and it’s sometimes hard to get this little guy to focus! He is a bundle of tail-wagging energy that is sure to bring smiles, love, and joy to his new family. Is that you?

BE SURE TO SEE MY BROTHER WAYLON AND WILLIE AND ALL THE OTHER DOGS WE HAVE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR AREA ON OUR MAIN ADOPT-A-PET SITE: East Tennessee Alliance for Animals TN (zip code 37343)
