will

Will is a 3-year-old American Bully with a story that speaks to both heartbreak and incredible resilience.

He first came into our care during a truly unique moment, his unhoused mom was in the hospital giving birth around the same time our Director had just welcomed her own baby. The hospital reached out, asking if we could step in to care for Will temporarily, and we were honored to help. After a few weeks, Will was reunited with his mom.

But not long after, she reached back out, this time because something wasn’t right. Will wasn’t acting like himself, and she knew he needed emergency medical attention. She trusted us to help him, and we’re so grateful she did.

When Will returned to us, it was clear he was struggling. After rushing him in for care, we discovered he had been given amphetamines. From that moment on, Will’s healing journey began.

While in our care, Will also underwent Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway (BOAS) surgery to help him breathe more comfortably and improve his overall quality of life. After recovering, he began to truly decompress—settling into a safe environment where his personality could finally start to shine.

Today, Will is continuing his journey with our friends at Connected Canine, where he’s being exposed to different variables, learning basic obedience and building the skills he needs to thrive in a forever home. We are very excited to learn more about him through training. He is sweet, loyal, and deeply connected to his people, despite everything he’s been through.

Will has every reason not to trust the world, but he chooses love anyway. He’s ready for a home that will continue to show him safety, consistency, and the life he’s always deserved.
