Meet Will, a joyful boy who has so much love to give. He’s a GORGEOUS 11-month-old weimaraner/lab mix with the most beautiful amber eyes and regal posture.
In his short life, Will has been through A LOT! During an adoption event in December, he was attacked and punched by a homeless person, and shortly after that, he broke out of his collar, escaped, and lived on his own in the cold Washington wilderness for five days until he was eventually trapped and brought to safety. Most recently, he had part of his right leg amputated due to a bone deformity caused by a calcium deficiency in utero. He does not know that he has three legs and can run and jump and play and do ALL the things that he was able to do with four legs.
He deserves to be treated like KING because even though he’s been through so much, he has the sweetest disposition and forgiving nature.
He is a FABULOUS dog who is good with cats, good with other dogs, and good with most kids. He is currently fostered with a cat, a dog, a chinchilla, and 3 kids (boys - ages 8, 14, 16). He and the 8-year-old are the best of buds. He is a pro at walking on a leash, and his recall is excellent. He is potty-trained and can easily stay home during the day for 7 or 8 hours.
He is an incredibly smart, fast learner who is so fun to train. He currently knows how to sit on command and knows how to come when called. He’s also trained to wait for his leash to be put on before heading out for a walk. We are working on teaching him to stay and shake. He loves to go on car rides, walks, hikes, Home Depot, and Pet Smart.
He absolutely LOVES to go on hikes and walks and loves being by his people’s side. He also loves playing with other dogs - so far, he has never met a dog that he doesn’t get along with! He loves to seek out new smells, tumble around with other dogs, and chase remote control cars - even with only having three legs :)
He sleeps through the night and gets in a routine pretty quickly. For a puppy, he’s on the calmer side; however, he LOVES to play with other dogs, big and small. He especially likes dogs that like to chase, “battle,” as my son calls it, and tumble around. He also loves to chew on toys, especially bones, and he enjoys playing with stuffed animals.
He bonds VERY quickly with women, and he is sometimes slower to warm up to some teenage boys, but overall, he is accepting of and excited to meet most people.
