Willy 48228 Coonhound Mix Cedar Rapids, IA

Willy is a silly goofy coonhound that we are guessing to be around nine months old. He came in with is "sister" Sally. Will loves attention and running around like a goof in the play yard. more to come.

WILLY IS A NEUTERED MALE COONHOUND MIX WEIGHING 55 LBS. AND WE ARE ESTIMATING TO BE AROUND 9 MONTHS OLD. WILLY ENDED UP AT THE SHELTER WHEN HE WAS ABANDONED BY HIS OWNER. WILLY HAS BEEN HERE SINCE MARCH 13TH AND IS ONE OF THE DOGS HAVING BEEN HERE AT THE SHELTER THE LONGEST.

WILLY IS TERRIFIC AROUND OTHER DOGS. WE HAVE HAD HIM IN OUR EXERCISE YARDS IN PLAY GROUPS. HE IS STILL VERY YOUNG AND THERE IS NOTHING HE LIKES MORE THAN STRETCH HIS LONG LEGS AND RUN AND JUMP WITH THE OTHER DOGS. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG(S) IN YOUR HOME, THERE WOULD BE A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER.

WILLY CAN BE STRONG ON A SLIP LEAD AND WILL NEED A HARNESS FOR BETTER CONTROL OVER HIM. IF YOU WERE TO ADOPT HIM, WE WOULD PROVIDE YOU BOTH A HARNESS AND LEASH. PLEASE CHECK OUT WILLY’S VIDEO ON PETFINDER TO SEE WHAT HE IS LIKE OFF LEASH.

WILLY HAS A SWEET, FRIENDLY, AND GOOFY PERSONALITY THAT BEFITS HIS BREED OF DOG. I WOULD DESCRIBE HIS ENERGY LEVEL AS MEDIUM TO HIGH. I HAVE FOUND ONCE HE HAS HAD A CHANCE TO BURN OFF SOME PENT-UP ENERGY, HE WILL RELAX, CALM DOWN, AND IS HAPPY TO JUST SIT WITH YOU AND ENJOY YOUR COMPANY. WILLY WILL COME TO YOU WHEN CALLED AND TAKES HIS TREATS GENTLY FROM YOUR HAND. MAYBE WHAT I LIKE BEST ABOUT WILLY IS THAT HE IS NOT A JUMPER. HE IS HAPPY TO STAY ON ALL FOUR PAWS. ? I CAN’T TELL YOU IS HOUSETRAINED BUT HE WAS GOOD ABOUT TAKING CARE OF HIS BUSINESS ON OUR WALKS. JUST BE PATIENT, HE STILL HAS SOME PUPPY IN HIM.

THE BREED IS KNOWN TO DO WELL WITH CHILDREN AND IN AN ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD WHERE THEY GET REGULAR EXERCISE AND MENTAL STIMULATION. A FENCED IN BACK YARD WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.PLEASE JUST GIVE WILLY A CHANCE. GET HIM OUT OF HIS KENNEL AND SEE IF HE MIGHT BE THE DOG YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A LIFETIME COMPANION. WILLY HAS HIS WHOLE LIFE IN FRONT OF HIM. HE HAS BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR JUST A CHANCE. JUST A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME.
