Meet Will

Will is a beautiful, 8-month-old, 25-lb pup with a big heart and an even bigger desire to please. He and his siblings were found abandoned at an empty house in Puerto Rico, left to fend for themselves. Thankfully, a kind rescuer stepped in and showed them that people can be good — and that love and safety exist.

Since then, Will has learned so much. He’s friendly, social, and loves being around people and other animals. He walks nicely on a leash, enjoys quiet kennel time, and has been doing well with potty training. He’s incredibly smart and food-motivated — he is doing well learning commands like sit, stay, come, lay down, drop it, leave it, and heel.

However, Will is still a young pup who’s learning boundaries. As an 8 month old, he is still very mouthy when he plays and while he’s made great strides, he still needs continued structure and consistency with this. He’s otherwise a gentle, trainable, and loving boy who just needs the right environment and guidance to thrive.

Will goes to bed early (he tucks himself in around 7:30 p.m.!), loves to learn, and is ready to continue his journey with a patient, dog-savvy foster or adopter who can help him finish learning his manners.

He deserves a family that understands his past and will give him the steady, confident leadership he needs to blossom into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

Adoption Fee: $395
