Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see a sweet young dog that needs our help. Willow is one of these dogs that deserves, due to her excellent temperament and all the love she'll bring to a family, to have a wonderful home filled with nothing but pure love and nurturing.
Willow is a gorgeous 3 and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever that is nothing but pure love. She is 60 lbs of wiggles and kisses. Willow is SO sweet and once acclimated to her new life, will make a wonderful addition to a dog-crazy family.
This gorgeous, and what appears to be a purebred Lab (of course we can never say for sure) was shockingly found as a stray in New Mexico, and brought into a small shelter where no dog should be. We were reached out to about this girl's life needing saving, and couldn't resist this beautiful girl.
Willow's foster had the following to say about this sweet girl:
* * * *
"What else can I say other then this girl is pretty much perfect!? Her fun-loving, silly, and loving personality is a joy to behold!
Willow is potty trained, crate trained, dog friendly, and kid friendly.
Willow is a playful girl and her favorite things are playing with other dogs, playing in water, and TENNIS BALLS! (She would sell her soul for a tennis ball!)
She also really enjoys her walks / hikes and is good on leash.
She is a classic Lab (energetic, super friendly, and SO CUTE)!
Willow is a social butterfly who enjoys saying hi to dogs and people she passes on her daily walks. At the end of the day she is a snugglebunny who just wants to cuddle and be loved up by her favorite people. Whoever is lucky enough to have Willow join their family is truly getting a gem!"
* * * *
Willow is a perfect size to be able to accompany her family just about everywhere a medium size, well-behaved dog is welcome. She will fit right into virtually every situation due to her great temperament and very sweet personality. Our dream for Willow is a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes her for life.
Farfel's would like to see our wonderful girl in a home that includes her in family time and activities (and some lap or couch-time with belly rubs would be absolutely perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Willow the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free trainers in your area.
Willow will be a loving and devoted companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a silly, fun-loving and irresistible dog. She would love to have another gentle and fun dog to play with but it's not mandatory if her people are nurturing and involved.
Willow would also do well with a younger family that works from a home-based office. She would bask in the attention and periodic cuddles throughout the day that this life-style brings.
Willow has been fully vetted, is up to date on her vaccinations and has been spayed. This supports Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs that won't contribute to the overpopulation challenges in canines.
Willow is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and loving best friend. They can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Willow please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
