Willie is a Little Dog with a Big Personality! He is a 9-year-old, 20-pound spaniel/beagle mix with a big heart and plenty to say.

Willie is no stranger to the shelter. This wonderful boy was previously adopted from this shelter and spent his days being a beloved companion. Sadly, following the passing of his owner, Willie has found himself back, and now he is searching for a new family to call his own. While this unexpected change has been a difficult adjustment for him, his friends at the shelter know there’s a whole lot of love and happiness waiting for Willie in his next chapter. The shelter states he is good with other dogs, but whether he can live with cats or children is unknown.

At 9 years young, Willie is the perfect combination of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. Don’t let his age fool you; this little guy still has plenty of pep in his step. He absolutely LOVES playing fetch, staying active, and having fun with his favorite people. But when playtime is over, Willie is just as happy to curl up beside you for some quality cuddle time.

Willie is quite the conversationalist. He takes his Beagle heritage very seriously, especially when it comes to using his voice. Whether he’s excited, has something important to share, or just wants to be part of the conversation, Willie isn’t shy about speaking his mind. He’s a chatty little character who will happily tell you all about his day but also enjoys the quiet moments. If you appreciate a dog with personality and a little extra commentary, Willie is your guy.

After experiencing such a big loss and transition, Willie is hoping to find a patient, understanding home where he can settle in, feel secure, and get back to being his happy, fun-loving self. He deserves a family who will give him the time, kindness, and reassurance he needs as he adjusts to a new routine.

Willie deserves the chance to experience love and a home again. He may need a little extra patience as he navigates this new chapter, but behind that big voice is an incredibly sweet little dog with so much companionship, laughter, and love left to give. Willie is waiting to meet you.

Willie is posted for the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor located on Friday Harbor, WA. If you’re interested in meeting Willie, please fill out the shelter canine application, and an APS-FH adoption team member will be in touch.
