Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Willow is a SPECIAL seven year-old Pomeranian who came to rescue after her family lost their home. Because of Willow’s being treated roughly in her past, she was terrified at first, but eventually, she has become affectionate and playful. Sometimes you can still see the old trauma, though. She freezes when you pick her up like she’s terrified.. Because of her fear and anxiety she is very skittish and nervous, so a quiet adult home would work best for Willow.
Willow has improved a lot in her foster home. She taps her foster mom gently with her paw when she wants to be pet and likes to curl up on her foster mom’s lap. She’s learning to play and how to walk on a leash (using a harness because she is sensitive about her neck) without being frightened. Once she establishes trust, she is quite lovely and very sweet, but that will take time. Outside, Willow loves to run in the yard. Loud noises, trucks, or cars make her nervous so she will bark to try and scare them away! She is also very quick and could slip away from someone who isn’t watching the doors carefully, so a single-family home with a securely fenced yard would be good for her.
Willow lived with other dogs in her previous home and lives with dogs and a cat in her foster home. She would be fine as an only dog or with well-socialized dogs and is fine with cats
Willow will need a home with a person to help build her confidence in a kind and gentle manner. She will need positive training methods so as not to break her gentle spirit
Willow is a work in progress, but she’s also got so much potential to be a loving, sweet dog.
