MEET Willy!

This playful beagle mix guy is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old and weighs 35 lbs. Willy is true to the words that described his ancestors – a beloved and iconic canine breed.

He was surrendered to the shelter from a home where he, another adult dog and seven puppies were living when the family could no longer care for them and gave them the chance to find a better life. Lucky for us and his future adopters,  the Anne Arundel shelter asked for rescue assistance and he became a Tara’s House dog.  

Willy is quickly settling into his foster home and is a big fan of toys and playing!

He is nearly house broken and just like any toddler, only has accidents because he’s so excited playing that he forgets to let his person know it is time to go outside. 

He is being crate trained and is adjusting to his safe space nicely. He spends his nights peacefully and quietly inside his crate.  He also loves the cushy bed his foster mom gave him and decided this life is better than living in the shelter. 

He is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is working on mastering simple commands like sit and stay. He is super smart, is catching on quickly and will be adding more commands to his repertoire. 

 Willy is very silly and loves to run and steal toys from his foster dog sister but what he loves more is playing with his foster kitty. Lounging on the couch with both is a close second. 

Willy also enjoys going to the dog park, running with his pals and rolling in the grass. He enjoys riding in a car where there is so much to see out the window!  He would be a great addition to any home as he does well with cats, other dogs and people of all sizes. He will be a wonderful pet in a home where the adopters will have patience with him as he continues to learn and will provide obedience training to help him along the way. 

Willy’s adoption donation fee is $400, which includes his neuter, routine vetting and his microchip.  You can apply for Willy by filling out our online application at www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.
