My story

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

“What you talkin’ about Willis??” When we asked Willis that question from the old sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, his answer was simple… he’s talking about finding a home and a loving family of his own!! Willis came to PACC after he and his siblings were found to be abandoned. They’re safe at PACC now and this little old man has become an instant volunteer favorite. Here’s what some of his friends have said:

“Willis is a joyful, easygoing guy who is full of love. Despite a few physical ailments, he doesn`t appear to show signs of discomfort and is confident when trotting out on his walks with plenty of eagerness to explore. He is patient and smiley, even when I have seen his kennelmate carefully seat herself on his head as he relaxes in his kennel (no protests from Willis, just a slightly puzzled yet resigned expression on his face). His kennelmate also loves to spoon Willis as they sleep, draping herself over him. He is easy to leash and walk, with no reactivity to other dogs. Willis is a really incredible and resilient little guy who is sure to brighten any home.”

“Willis is so happy and so loving despite what seems to be a tough past. He has the best attitude! He was immediately eager to meet me with tail wagging and a big smile on his face. He was super friendly, wanted attention, loved to be touched and talked to and definitely appreciated every single type of treat offered to him. He was so appreciative of human companionship. Talk about a resilient, special soul! He`s easygoing, mild-mannered, tolerant, and loving and he certainly deserves to be in a home where he gets the chance to know what love and pampering feels like.”

Willis has valley fever and will need a dental to clean up his old man teeth, but nothing gets this boy down! All he needs is a place to kick up his feet and enjoy retirement. Willis shares his kennel and has been social and tolerant overall when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit.
