Willow is a sweet and gentle girl with all the love to give. She had a rough start to life, health-wise, but she hasn’t let that affect her temperament at all. She is quiet and polite, making her the perfect apartment dog. Her foster parents have only heard her bark one time! Willow can be shy at times, but warms up quickly. Once she comes out of her shell, she’s a goofy girl who loves flopping onto her back for belly rubs. Willow LOVES being outside, and would sit on a porch or in a park with you just watching the birds and squirrels go by as long as you’d let her. She is also more petite than she appears to be in photos — she’s got the cutest short little legs.
The two kitties in Willow's foster home have really grown on her. One in particular has become a loving companion! Dog-savvy cats are best fit for her. She’s not fostered with other dogs but we think she’d like to have a canine sibling to play with, preferably a low-energy or submissive dog. Willow loves playing catch but gets tired quickly and is ready to nap in your lap or on a nice rug. She happily and quietly goes into her crate, and often chooses to nap in there on her own accord. She also tolerates baths and nail trims well as long as you tell her what a good girl she is! Willow is great at communicating her needs and has never had an accident in the house. Nobody’s perfect though, and Willow could use some work on her leash manners — she’s a puller! She’s smart and a people-pleaser, so we think she’d pick up these skills quickly. Since being in her foster home she’s learned to sit, shake, lay down, stay, and she’s working on spin. She’s a fast learner!
Willow is a silly, easy-going young lady who would thrive in a variety of types of homes. She’s perfectly happy running around and playing or snoozing the day away. There are no children in her foster home, but she’s so gentle we think she’d be great with kids. She does jump when she’s excited, but has never actually jumped on anybody, just around them.
