My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Willie is an energetic, playful dog! He hasn't met a ball yet he doesn't LOVE and he goes bonkers for a toy with a squeaker. He plays fetch with the best of them and would love to play with you any time. Of course, food and treats are pretty good too :-)

Willie was adopted from a rescue group in Florida and made his way up with is new owners to not so sunny Illinois. His disgust over winter cold and snow is apparent, but he will quickly do his business and come right back inside! He is house trained and knows a few commands (sit, down, place, and we're working on "leave it"). He currently sleeps in his crate at night (he gets a little antsy once the alarm goes off, so no snoozing here). He also stays in his crate while his owner is out running errands, or away from home for a few hours.

Willie has some skin allergies, so he takes Benadryl daily. He also has esophageal reflux and takes Pepcid twice daily as well. Over the counter/generic is ok!
