Willy Needs a Home

Willy

I'm taking a page out of my friend Pam McInnes' book today.  It's her blog that gave me this idea, she's devoted to finding good homes for animals in her corner of Ontario.

I have clients who will be moving out of their home due to health reasons. They will be moving into an apartment in Belleville where they will be closer to their doctors and public transport. Unfortunately they will not be allowed to bring Willy with them.

Willy is a friendly soul, only 4 years old, and we're trying to get him into a good home before this time comes. Because I'm a big softie, I have agreed to take him home with me should no other solution be found, but I'm not likely to be the ideal owner for this gentle little fellow. He's very quiet and loves to sit with his owners and watch television in the evenings.

He's a great dog, his mother was a pure bred Scottish Terrier, and his father was also a super dog, able to overcome all the obstacles that were put in place to keep him and his mother apart. Willy seems to have inhereted his father's tenacity because he's a quick learner and is a very sociable little guy.

If you know anyone in the Quinte area who's looking for a companion like this, just give me a shout. Willy and I would appreciate that.

Malcolm, I love your description of Willy's father.  My wife will not let me have a dog yet (she feels, very correctly, that she will have to do almost all the work caring for the dog), or he might have been a great candidate.

Willy is adorable Malcolm. I'm sure you will find him a home ;). You should have posted it in the doggie groups too.

Hi Malcolm,

What a sweetie. It always makes my heart sink when circumstances force people to have to give up a pet.

I've reblogged. I hope he finds a loving family (although I'll bet you'd make a great new home for him if you don't).

Oh Malcolm, I sure hope you can find a loving home for Willy.  I feel so sorry for innocent pets caught up into human and Mother Nature events.  The economy isn't helping either as it seems, and is true, that there are folks who claim they just no longer can afford to feed their pets and simply abandon them.  How cruel and sad.  Now I have to search for the "doggie groups".  I think I'll start with Pam's Blog and see if she has them included in her groups.

I sure hope you find a great home for that cute little guy! I am personally past having pets anymore. At 62, I want to be able to travel when I want without feeling guilty about leaving anybody home.

I hope Willy finds that new forever home. Who could turn down a dog with such blue eyes like that?

Willy looks like he loves to be right next to (or in the lap of) his owner. Hope he finds a great home soon!
