About Willy

Willy is an 8 year old dachshund mix with a story that proves sometimes the sweetest souls just need a little time to feel safe again. He came to Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary after his owner surrendered him to the shelter, and to say he was overwhelmed would be an understatement. The shelter was loud, scary, and confusing, and Willy coped the only way he knew how by panicking and acting like a tiny chaos gremlin. Once he landed in foster care and realized the world was not, in fact, ending, everything changed. After a few weeks to decompress and rebuild trust, Willy showed everyone who he truly is: a gentle, independent little guy with a soft heart and excellent house manners. He is house trained, crate trained (though he would vote to abolish crates entirely if given the chance), and settles nicely into a calm routine. Willy is almost blind, but don't tell him that. He navigates life just fine, confidently finding his way around and happily toddling through the yard and exploring the farm. He especially loves being outside, taking in the smells and sunshine at his own relaxed pace. He enjoys being brushed, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and even chickens. His perfect home would be quiet and predictable. Willy would thrive with a retired person or someone living a slower paced lifestyle who simply wants a loyal little companion nearby. Because he startles easily, a home without children is best for him. He is not needy or clingy, just happiest sharing space with his person and knowing he belongs. Willy has already done the hard part learning to trust again. Now he is just waiting for a soft landing and someone to love him for the wonderful little dog he is. Adoption fee: $300 Includes neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to give Willy the calm, loving home he deserves.
