Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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


Willy is a goofy 2.5 y.o. boy who needs an owner experienced with training and socializing dogs, best with someone who can deal with working dogs like a Malinois. He is originally from the streets of Texas and as a result has issues with boundaries and attention, but he is learning very fast. I'm working on obedience in the home (leaving my cat alone) and on walks (paying attention to me, ignoring other dogs).

He was originally pretty reactive to dogs, large men, and squirrels but with training he has gotten a lot better. He is smart!! and learns commands within a couple reps, but he NEEDS someone who can provide that structure. He has been to the dog park and gets along well with most large dogs but is a dominant player which can be an issue with anxious dogs, puppies, or small dogs. I would love to stay in contact with his forever family and help provide for him, he's a very sweet boy.
