My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Willow is estimated to be 6 - 8 months old. She was found wandering near Oakland, CA with another female dogo presumed to be her mom. Both were hungry, covered in bites, sprayed by a skunk, with their ears scabbed and filthy after a recent crop. Willow also had a serious UTI, which caused the formation of struvite crystals in her urinary tract.

Despite rough beginnings, Willow is a loving, sensitive, smart girl who is very eager to please. She can be shy at first, but quickly bonds with humans (especially women!) and other dogs. Willow currently gets along with dogs of all genders, sizes and temperaments. No cats please! She has not been exposed to children, but her temperament is well-suited for a dogo-savvy home willing to nurture good behavior through training for both Willow and any young, human siblings.

Willow's ideal fur-ever home is in or near Phoenix, AZ where she is currently fostered, with a family who has lots of time to devote to her care and development. She loves cuddling, chewing nyla bones, playing with other medium-to-high energy dogs, and lounging around in her kiddie pool. Though Willow is crate-trained, she yearns to be with her humans and would do best in an environment where she is not left alone for long periods of time. 

Willow is currently on a special urinary diet to dissolve struvite crystals in her urinary tract. While this special need is expected to be short-term, Willow's fur-ever family should be prepared to support any special needs on an ongoing basis. Her adopters must be willing to coordinate with DC Dogos to spay Willow at the age-appropriate time. DC Dogos has a strict no-breeding policy.
