Story
Hi. My name is One-Eyed Willy. My foster family also calls me William. I got the name, well because I’ve only got one eye. Don’t worry. I promise I’m just like any other dog. Especially one who loves a good treat.
I am going to need a family who will really love me through my golden years. I’m approximately 12 years old and am for the most part deaf. Don’t let the sound of that fool you. I have still got a lot of life left in me. First, I am all about walking… I walk all day long. Yes, I’ll take a couple naps throughout the day but if I’m not napping I’m taking a stroll or doing laps around my foster home.
Because I like to explore, I do need a safe environment with preferably as few stairs as possible. If my new home does have stairs, I will figure them out but it takes me a little while to get used to my new environment. Trust me, once I know where they are, I won’t fall down the stairs. If I will be left unattended at all in an outdoor yard area, window wells need to be covered. What else? Oh, yeah. Because of my age I’ve only got a couple teeth left. That doesn’t stop me from snacking on hard kibble but soft food is definitely an easier and more efficient way for me to eat.
I get along great with other dogs and would probably do okay with cats. Little kids move a bit too fast for me, so kids over 8 only, please. Housetraining in my new home should be fairly easy once I understand where you want me to go. My foster mom thinks I was trained to use a dog door in my last home, so if you have a safe, fenced backyard and a dog door, we should be good to go! I’m also crate-trained and sleep quietly in my crate all night.
Now tell me I don’t sound like the perfect companion for you and your family. You should really think about being my forever family!
Willy has been neutered, has had a dental cleaning, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm, and is microchipped.
