When we first saw Willy, he was in a cage at the municipal shelter in Tripoli, just a tiny baby, hungry and incredibly scared. You couldn’t help but feel for him. And when we fed him for the first time, we felt it even more, because he threw himself onto the food, practically inside a bowl almost his size, trembling at the presence of the adult dog sharing his cage, barking to protect the food he had been deprived of for so long.
He came to us, grew up, and went through a phase where he became a chubby, clumsy puppy. For a while, it even seemed like he had lost a bit of his charm, as if his beautiful eyes had grown smaller and some of his sweetness and softness had faded. But then he changed again, and now he looks much more like the little puppy he was when he first arrived. His sweet eyes once again resemble those he had as a baby, his face shines, and he is truly beautiful.
At the shelter, he goes out, plays with the other dogs, and is full of energy and joy. He may be a little hesitant at first with people he doesn’t know, but he understands good intentions and soon connects and cooperates. Today, our Willy is a sweet, gentle, happy, and kind dog. He is tall, slender, handsome, and still very young. He has his whole life ahead of him to live and enjoy all the things he missed out on. He is vaccinated, neutered, and healthy, and he is looking for his forever home.
