My story

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

All potential adopter’s will need to be approved to adopt from MWBCR and should visit our website at www.mwbcr.org for more information on the approval process.

Hi, Willow Here!

I have been with my foster mom now for the past two weeks. We have a pretty good routine now and I have settled in quite nicely. They think I am only slightly older than a year due to my beautiful pearly white teeth. :)

Things That I Like:
(1) Tennis Balls - I love to play ball, but I don't just run after the ball, I usually have to bat it around a bit then I bring it back to you.
(2) Belly rubs - oh boy do I love these! Then I like to look back up at you and ask for a couple more. If you stop I get the hint real quick and go back to doing my own thing.
(3) Crate - I LOVE my crate. This is my safe place. If my human is getting ready or working on a project I usually can be found resting in my crate. My human feeds me breakfast and dinner in here too. I always go right in when asked.
(4) Food - I work really well for food. Mmmmmm...

Things That I Am Good At:
(1) Being Obedient & Being A Quick Learner - My human is always complementing me at how well I listen to her. She tells me I can sit faster than she can say the word sit. I lay down nicely, wait patiently at the door and come when called. Mom says we have a little more work to do with outside stimuli and recall, but she says I am improving nicely.
(2) Checking in - I am good at checking in with my human and keeping in tune with her when inside and we are improving well when outside.
(3) Chilling out- I have no problem laying down and chilling while my human is eating dinner or while she is running around getting human chores done. I don't seek out excessive attention. I will look up and check in, and if called will come stick by human's side and hope for another belly rub.
(4) Playing with Little Dogs - There is a 4 month old Pomeranian next door and I love to play with him. His name is Dan the Dandelion. He is silly. He jumps all over me. I sometimes lay down so I am at his level and we kiss each others noses.

Things I Am Not Sure Of:
(1) Some Dogs: I do better with smaller dogs and dogs that don't come in my space too quickly. Small dogs I warm up to real quick, but other ones I just need more time to get to know them and then I can adjust nicely.
(2) Trusting Random People: I LOOOOOVE my foster human, boy oh boy do I love her, but am still learning to trust other humans. When other people want to meet me, I would rather turn around and be by my foster moms side. We are playing games around other people and am learning that some random people can be A OK.

I am a great girl! Eager to learn.Very smart and oh so sweet. Please check out our adoption policy and contact my foster mom if you are interested in learning more about me.

Sincerely,
Willow
