***Adoption Pending***

Willow wandered onto the property of a man who already had a number of dogs and had asked us to take in most of his dogs as he could no longer provide care for them. Since Willow had been at this home for quite some time, we included her among the dogs that we rescued when we took in the man's 7 adult aged dogs.

Willow has a very friendly disposition and really yearns for human contact. Because she was most likely shunned by those people she encountered prior to her rescue, she was a bit reluctant to our offers of our friendship when we first met her. After a dedicated plan to socialize Willow, she quickly began to shed her reluctance and began to freely interact with our staff. While Willow has made vast improvements, she's still very skeptical of walking on a leash and still a bit timid when interacting one-on-one with people so her adopter must be willing to give her time to adjust. Willow is kind-hearted, sweet and takes a submissive role towards other dogs. We do believe she will continue to make positive progress in interacting with people as she becomes familiar with them and realizes that not all humans simply want her to "go away". 

Willow has now been fully vetted, de-wormed and kept on her monthly preventatives. Her adopter should be prepared to offer her house and leash training. Due to her thicker coat of fur, she'll require regular grooming as well. We're not positive of her breed but she does have a few Shepherd-like qualities, which is why we've labeled her as a Shepherd mix.
