willow

In rescue we are always ready to take in the needy and homeless animals and work with them to transform them into the amazing pets that we know they can be!  But sometimes we come across one that amazes us as they quickly and gently adjust to a new life . Willow is that girl! She is the sweetest tempered, affectionate little soul that would love nothing more than consistent love, companionship and to be your shadow.  Although she was timid and confused in an outside hoarding case, it wasn't long before Willow decided she would prefer to lay beside her foster family for gentle belly rubs. This was her first step and now her tail never stops wagging!  Willow is a stunning yellow lab between 1.5 to 2 years old and weighs in at 60 pounds. She adores her people and is thriving daily happily giving affection and gives kisses! Willow also enjoys playing with dogs from 45 to 160 pounds and gets the most adorable case of the zoomies in the fenced in yard. A main characteristic of hers is that Willow wants to please and is very smart! She will watch what you want and follow your cues.  A calm home that has another well adjusted dog would be ideal so she can continue to gain confidence. This beauty also loves children and is learning how to play with toys and chew bones.  As a bonus she has had no accidents, can be left out and has never destroyed anything in the home (although we are crate training) and is learning how to walk confidently on a leash. She is a bit timid with new people but quickly warms up when she feels safe and loved. Willow brings a special kind of compassion and joyful disposition to all who meet her!
