Description:
ALL-AROUND GREAT COMPANION DOB 8/28/23, weight 39 lb. Hey there, everyone! I’m Willie, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate Cattle Dog/ Black Lab mix who loves spending quality time close by my hoomans. In my quiet way, I want to be wherever Foster Mom is. I’m sociable with people who want to engage, but I don't annoy or demand hooman attention. I’m a handsome dude who’s as fantastic on the inside as I look on the outside! I’m playful when it’s playtime, but I settle down and happily chill out at Foster Mom’s feet while she reads. I quietly sleep at the end of her bed and snuggle next to her thigh on the sofa as we binge together on Animal Planet and Netflix. I walk well on a leash and really enjoy long walks in the neighborhood so I can sniff and explore new things. I’m smart and eager to please, so I’m easily trained and catch on quickly. I’ve got the compact build and head of an Cattle Dog, but my short, smooth black coat with white locket and vest indicate that Lab blood is probably also coursing through my veins. Since Cattle Dogs are herding dogs, we’re in our groove when we’re given a job to do that engages us both mentally and physically. With our boundless energy and keen intelligence, we excel at dog sports like agility and make excellent running partners. To keep us out of mischief, our hoomans should avoid allowing us to get bored! A Good Samaritan found me as a stray who was probably dumped on the side of the busy Grand Parkway in front of the PetSmart in Richmond. She posted on FaceBook that she had found me, but no one responded. After bouncing around to several homes for my first few days post-rescue, I was ecstatic when my future foster mom stepped up to the plate and agreed to foster me. I'm the only dog in my foster home, but I'm curious when I meet other dogs on my walks (and tug on my leash when I see a cat that I want to chase). Now I’m ready to find my forever home. If you’re looking for a true-blue loyal buddy who’s an all-around great companion dog, I’m your man! Arrange to meet me today! My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!
