Willa - Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Auburndale, Florida

Meet Willa! This lovely red & white girl has landed at Suncoast Basset Rescue, and she's settling into the good life quite nicely! Willa is estimated to be around 6 years old and came to SBR from a municipal shelter, so we don't know much about her past. What we do know is that she's a sweet, resilient girl who seems ready to put whatever came before behind her and enjoy the good stuff.

Willa is getting along beautifully with her basset foster brother, and her interactions with other dogs at the shelter were cordial. She's proving to be an easygoing girl who seems happy to go with the flow. And in just a few days, Willa has learned that foster life has some pretty fabulous perks! She's been lounging by the pool, claiming her spot on the sofa, and taking frequent walks to meet the neighbors.

While Willa enjoys her foster vacation, we'll be getting her medical care up to snuff and learning more about her personality. Once she's medically cleared, she'll be ready to find a forever family of her own.
