Let’s free Willie.. to Massachusetts I go! Hi there, my name is Willie. I am a lab that came to Yankee all the way from the south, it was a ride to freedom. From the moment I arrived to Yankee, I was severely underweight. With a diet consisting of being fed three times a day and lots of love from staff, I have started to gain weight and come out of my shell! I am an intelligent boy that enjoys chasing balls, treats, and agility equipment! Volunteers and staff have had fun watching me jump hurdles and weave through poles. Not to mention it is super fun for me too! Despite the fun I have running around, I also love to receive belly rubs from my humans at the end of the day.

I can go to a home with older teenagers that are dog savvy and will let me approach on my own. I am still nervous in new situations, but having my trusted humans by my side helps me. I know some life skills such as sit and lay down. I am working on my leash walking skills and will need to continue working on them when I go home. A family that can keep up with my training and love for agility would be awesome! I am also a great “catcher of treats”, throw one up and I will surely catch it in my mouth!

If you are looking for a handsome man, that just happens to be yellow and golden eyed, I’d love to go home with you! I am looking for an active family that can keep up with my love of being outside and keep me enriched with daily activities. I can’t wait to start this new life filled with adventure and affection. Please inquire about me!
