My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Willow  has had a rough few years. Health issues have had this girl being a frequent visitor to the vet. We were contacted about this sweet girl and that her family was not able to afford her care and were considering euthanasia.
Over the past several months and a couple of procedures, Willow is feeling good!! And now it’s time to find her a new home. 
Willow had spent her life outside with a female ST Bernard. She prefers to be in charge but the two of them had gotten along well together. 
She had been an outside dog but after months in her foster home Willow is now happy being an inside girl. This is what her foster mom says about her....

I'm looking for a family with lots of compassion and love to give. Most of my life was spent in a barn with little to no outside stimuli. My previous owners also debarked me. I still bark but it's very muted. That's why my foster home has been the perfect place for me to adjust as I have introduced to home life and lots of everyday stimuli but certain things still scare me. Mt temp family has also tried to help me gain my confidence with my muted way of communication by praising me for protecting the house when I bark!

I love to be outside, it's sometimes hard to coax me in so my family can leave. I'd probably do amazing with free access in or out of the house with a secure yard a nd a dog door. I've never tried to fence jump or escape my yard. I love to play outside with myself and I love the snow! Don't waste time buying me toys because I snuff my nose at them, I prefer to be chased and played with in the yard with my humans. I grew up with another dog with my previous family and have played with neighbor dogs through the fence, I've been around cats and they don't seem to affect me at all but slow intros would be needed as I've lived in a home with no cats or dogs for several months now. I can be selective with dogs so slow intros are a must and I should pre-meet any pups living in your home to ensure compatibility and success. I take some time to warm up to new people and a longer period of time to warm up to men.

Most of all, I love being with my people! I love attention and I'll nose nudge for pets and scratches. Belly rubs, pets, and treats are my favorite things. I am the best protector and love bug you'll ever meet. I love my snuffle mat and licky mat when I'm over stimulated by the garbage man or thunder, that stuff scares me and sometimes I need distracting stimuli to calm me down. Most of my time is spent napping, I'm fully house trained, I know command such as sit, down, place. However, I'm a typical Pyr and the word "come" seems to be a word I choose not to hear. I am fine being left unattended. I'd be a beautiful addition to any home, I'm an overall sweetheart.

Willow is being fostered in Utah.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to help the innocent sweet pups that don't have a voice. Many of the dogs come in sick, emaciated and covered in matts, we are here to provide funding for the vet bills and grooming. We also fund the feeding of the pups while they are in foster care and boarding. Educating the public on the treatment of the livestock guardian dogs is something we take very seriously. We are here to fight for their rights and do everything we can to get them covered under animal cruelty laws. They don't have a voice so you will never stop hearing ours!
