Will

Will is the kind of puppy who likes to take it all in before jumping in. He’s quiet, observant, and can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe and secure, his playful and mischievous side comes out in the best way. He’s generally a go-with-the-flow kind of guy and a very happy camper when he’s hanging out with his siblings and his people.

When Will wants something, though? Oh, he means it. He’s laser-focused and determined, and once he gets his paws on a prize, he’ll stubbornly refuse to let go.

He loves long naps stretched out belly-up, chewing his toys, wrestling, and playing tug. As his confidence has grown, so has his sense of mischief. He’s especially fond of pouncing and initiating tug-of-war at the most inconvenient times, like when you’re picking up his poop or changing his food and water.

Will can be timid with new experiences and will need reassurance and gentle encouragement as he learns the world isn’t such a scary place. In return, he gives pure devotion. He absolutely loves being picked up, held, and spending quality time with his people.

Will is from our “Stranger Things” litter and was born in our care to her mom Joyce. Will is very much a puppy and comes with all the classic puppy traits. He loves to chew, so supervision and appropriate chew toys are essential when he’s free in the home. He is not yet house-trained or leash-trained and will need a committed family willing to invest time and patience into his training and socialization.
