PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Melrose and other neighboring communities.
My name is Willie and I am a very friendly and talkative young guy who loves to be right in the middle of all the action. That means that I will always come right up to greet you and your guests, rubbing up against you to say hello. It also means I can be quite helpful around the house. Have some gifts to wrap? I can help with that. Reading the Sunday paper? I can help there by stretching out on it. I also love to sun myself, so I hope you have a nice window where I can take in the rays.
I do have a little bit of a catnip habit. That stuff makes me wild. Give me a nip and dangle some toys and I will be sure to entertain you. Or toss me some paper rolled in a ball. I am sure to chase that (when I am not wrapping with it). I am also a curious guy, so I will be checking out the corners of you house to make sure there is nothing interesting that you may have missed. When not busy exploring or playing, I am pretty laid back and easy going. I even have experience with toddlers. And other creatures. When I was little, my owner had ferrets and I used to wrestle with them. Everything and everyone is my friend. Nothing perturbs me. I am just a big, gentle giant.
