This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
Willie Nelson and his brother Charlie Daniels are delightful beagle mix puppies who were surrendered to a humane society when their owner could not take care of them. They ended up in foster care and initially lived with an adult female, two teenagers, a cat, and three dogs. Currently, they are living with an adult couple, two preschoolers, cats, dogs, goats, and chickens. Willie and Charlie get along very well with everyone they have met. They find cats quite interesting and have been responsive to corrections.
Willie is quite playful and likes all kinds of toys. He has a wonderful time playing chase and bitey-mouth with his brother and their other canine companions. He also really enjoys splashing in the water or romping through the spray from a hose. He does a little digging, too! But Willie is also happy to chill out with his people. New places sometimes make him feel timid, but he settles down quickly.
Willie is just a baby, but he is making good progress with his house, crate, and leash training. He is calm inside his crate when he rides in cars, but will drool or vomit on long, curvy roads. He never barks indoors but will sometimes alert bark when he is outside. By nature, Willie is very obedient, although he definitely enjoys jumping up on couches. We recommend training classes for all of our puppies, so that you can both learn the commands together, and the puppy will gain confidence. It's also fun!
Willie is an easygoing and friendly puppy who is going to be a perfect companion to anyone who is lucky enough to adopt him!
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

**Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
