My name is Willow!

***Courtesy Post*****

Willow is a 6 yr old lab/pitbull mix.  She is full of energy, loves to go for walks, tag along on car rides, and is very intelligent.  She needs a home where she can be the center of attention and receive a lot of love. Willow favors women more than men when it comes to people and can get jealous of other pets. It would be best for her to be in a single dog home. Willow is a sweet girl.  She is spayed and current on vaccinations. She is house-trained and is trained to go in and out of the dog door. She will whine if she needs to go out if the dog door is closed or if she is in the kennel. Willow does know her basic commands like sit, stay, shake, dismissed and kennel up, but sometimes is stubborn and needs redirection.

Willow can show signs of food aggression if bothered by strangers while eating. Willow cannot play at dog parks. Willow loves walks, but has grown up in the country side where we are secluded to have space to run around. 

Willow can sometimes get anxious during storms and wants to be involved with the family when we are home. She likes playing fetch with sticks, playing in water like sprinklers and even secluded lakes. She does have an aerial shock collar and remote shock collar that she has been trained with to know the land boundaries and used for redirection when being stubborn.

I have had Willow since she was 4 months old. She has been my absolute best friend. I have a 3 year old toddler that she gets along great with, but that’s because she is comfortable with him and has known him since day one. I will be gone for over 18 months for military training and uncertain of what my future orders will entail. 

All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.
