We're not sure what Will's breed background is, but he's 100% cutie
pie! He has the face and ears of a Chihuahua, but the rest is a
mystery. To touch him, you'd swear he was part rabbit with his
thick, luxurious coat and soft, velvety ears. Maybe he's a
Chihuabbit! He's definitely a dog of many talents. Will
is a professional bug-chaser, love-soaker-upper, and smile-inducer. He's a
very special guy looking for a very special home. He came from
an unpleasant situation where he was severely neglected when he was a
tiny puppy, and it has been a slow but wonderful process to watch him
learn about life in a loving home. Because of his poor start, he
is shy with new people and takes time to warm up, but with patience
and consistency he quickly shows his sweet and silly personality.
He is easily intimidated by things like stairs and slick floors, and
it takes him time to figure them out, kind of like a child with a
slight learning disability. He continues to learn in his
foster home and grow in confidence as he comes out of his shell.
Will
absolutely loves other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them.
He is very happy as a member of the pack, and enjoys zooming
around and wrestling with his little dog buddies. When you take
him outside, he bursts into the yard with a joie de vie and zest for
life that will bring a smile to your face every time. Will has
an excellent sense of humor and is always doing funny things like
pouncing in front of you to get you to play or running behind you and
gently bumping your leg with his nose. He LOVES belly rubs
and will stretch his long front legs out straight in the air to keep
them coming. Sometimes when you pet him, he will even give you
sweet little kisses on your hand to let you know how much he
appreciates your kindness. To see a video of Will's greatest
hits, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xhJhbPfzUI.
Will is not comfortable being held and carried or going for a walk on
the leash yet, but with time and patience, he could learn to enjoy
these things.
All
that Will wants is a chance at the life that every dog deserves with
a family that will continue to teach him and let him know he is
loved. He is a joy to be around and easy to care for. One
look into those beautiful amber eyes and you can see all the love he
has to offer. If you would like to give this sweet little boy
the loving home he's been waiting for, please fill out an application
today!
Will
is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccination
and heartworm prevention.
