WV #6 Willie

Willie is one of the 28 West Virginia dogs rescued from a hoarding situation. He is a male, pure Chihuahua, who may be blind (still checking and soon to be neutered.) Although his vision is questionable, he has learned to follow his nose, foster’s voice, and even using his toes to feel his way around.  He can go up and down a few stairs, but always with supervision. He has even learned to jump up on a step stool, to reach his foster’s bed, where he will snuggle under the covers and fall asleep.

Because he is vision impaired, he is not recommended for young children. He does not seem to care about other dogs, large or small, nor cats. You must be cautious when walking around him, as he will follow closely behind, so you must learn to not step backwards without looking, as he is right there on you heals.

(We used to call a cat like that “Whoopsie”, as he has the potential to make people moving too quickly fall.) So, if you want a faithful companion, who will give you kisses, and worm his way into your heart and life, he is the one!
