About Willis’ Breed:
Our best guess is that Willis is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. This mixed breed is a blend of spunky energy and loyal charm. These small dogs pack a big personality and make wonderful companions for active individuals or families. They are known for their feisty, fun-loving nature and deep loyalty to their humans. They have a tendency to be vocal and often have a playful streak, making them great for interactive games and toys. Daily walks and playtime are also essential to burn off energy. They do best in homes where they can be close to their people and get regular exercise!
Willis is a snuggly little pumpkin who’s equal parts lap warmer and trail buddy. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and has a soft spot for long walks and mountain hikes—he’s even conquered a 7-mile trek with ease! While he does experience some separation anxiety, he’s happiest when he can follow his person around and nap nearby, making him a perfect match for someone who works from home or is home a lot.
Willis’ Wonderful Highlights:
• Potty and crate trained, with great house manners
• Loves women, and follows his foster mom like a shadow
• Great with other dogs, even those twice his size!
• Interested in cats, meet-and-greet recommended
• Medium energy—relaxed at home, playful in the yard
• Obsessed with walks, hikes, and leash time (he must have a family who loves walks as much as he does!)
• Loves tug-of-war, chasing doggie pals, and meal time
• Snuggly and sweet, naps in laps and sleeps at your feet
• Might jump when excited, but it’s all love
• Territorial bark, but mostly playful curiosity
• 100% loyal, and easy to love
Willis is looking for a loving home with a fenced yard, a comfy couch, and a human (preferably female energy) who’s around most of the day. He’s a gentle, affectionate companion who will bring joy, cuddles, and a whole lot of personality to your life.
If you’re ready for a devoted little sidekick who’ll hike mountains with you by day and snuggle by night, Willis is waiting to steal your heart!
