Exercise and potty - While he loves a walk, he’s also happy to curl up on the couch.  He’s your typical elderly gentleman with an easy going personality.  He is good to let his people know when he needs to go out (or he’s hungry – typical golden!).

Health – Willie has some hearing deficits, but his sweetness and charm make up for it.  If you need to get his attention you just have to touch him.  Like many seniors, Willie needs some daily medications to keep him active and comfortable.  He can manage stairs in the foster’s home but takes advantage of the landing midway to catch a quick rest. 

Housetraining – Willie appreciates a schedule, but will also let you know when he wants to go outside.  He doesn’t need to be crated.  With his age he would appreciate someone home to make sure he doesn’t have to hold it for super long periods of time.

Energy level – Very low.  Willie enjoys walks but prefers they be on the shorter side.  He’s working on getting his youthful body back and needs to continue his weight loss plan. That will also help him build stamina.

Kids – Is kind and tolerant of the children in the foster home.

Cats – He gets along great with the resident cats and they aren’t bothered by him at all

Other dogs – Willie is not interested in sharing his toys. He would be best as an only dog.    

A generous benefactor has covered Willie’s adoption fee, helping to pave the way for a smooth and happy transition into his forever home.
