This handsome boy is Willie Nelson! Not to be confused with the singer but we think that he is just as laid back and cool as the real deal. Willie, a hound mix, has been at the shelter since August of 2023. He gets along great with his kennel-mate, June, as well as the other pups at the shelter. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations as well as his rabies vaccine. He is heartworm negative and he has been neutered. This playful boy is only two years old and has many more years of love to give.
Although he is not from this county or state, Retired Chief Petty Officer David Goggins is the only person to ever complete US Army Ranger School, US Air Force Tactical Control Party Training, and US Navy Seal Training.

David Goggins is an American hero and we may never know the true extent of all he has done for our country.
