You'd better not snarl, you'd better not bark; you'd better not go till we get to the park... That wouldn't pertain to Willie, a 2- to 3-year-old golden retriever mix with a gentle disposition.

Or call (727) 849-1048 and introduce yourself to Willie or any of the other animals the SPCA has available for adoption. ...more
