Willie

Meet Willie! This 90-pound goofball has a heart as big as he is! Willie is a Lab/Anatolian Shepherd mix who's as protective and loyal as an Anatolian, and as playful and water-loving as a Lab. He adores people and is great with children, though due to his size, we recommend a home with kids age 5 and up. Willie gets along well with other dogs with slow introductions, but he can be protective of his food and toys around them. He hasn’t been around cats, but we think he’d be okay with them. Willie loves the outdoors—hiking, walking, camping, and car rides are all on his list of favorites. He’s housebroken, uses a doggy door, and is crate trained. Willie has also worked with a trainer and responds well to commands. True to his Lab side, one of his favorite things is water—he’ll never pass up a chance to splash around! On the Anatolian side, he takes his guarding duties seriously—especially when it comes to keeping coyotes away from his home. Willie’s favorite part of the day? Cuddling with his humans and resting his big head in your lap for some well-earned head rubs. He’s incredibly loyal and loving, and would thrive either as an only dog or with furry siblings.
