About Willie Nelson

Meet Willie Nelson, the Singing, Snuggling Rockstar! Willie is back through no fault of his own, and while our hearts are breaking for him, we know his true forever family is out there. If you want a dog with a massive personality, genius brains, and an even bigger heart, Willie is your guy!

Willie is a Velcro boy who always wants to be touching his human. He will snuggle next to you on the couch with his head on your lap, and when you're watching TV, he'll lay happily at your feet with his chin resting right on top of your toes.

Willie has a hilarious obsession with tissues and will literally try to steal them right out of your hand if you don't hide them! Every morning after breakfast, ask him "Who wants to brush their teeth?" and watch him explode with excitement for his favorite dental chew stick. He loves chasing squirrels and actually caught one once-but he was so confused about what to do next, he just politely let it go! Willie is a certified genius and loves advanced dog puzzles, figuring out even the toughest ones in record time. True to his inner Husky, Willie is wonderfully vocal and will happily sing you a song when he's excited or sees doggy friends outside. When he isn't barking at his own reflection or running in joyful circles during backyard zoomies, he just wants to be your loyal best friend. Willie is smart, silly, and completely ready to find the home he deserves.
