My story

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

They call me Willa and tell me that I`m a special girl who deserves the world, but my troubled past makes me doubt that`s true. I was on my own for at least 2.5 weeks before getting trapped and brought to the shelter; it`s hard to go through something like that and not have trust issues. Getting to the adoption floor has been a long time coming and I`m thankful for the staff who got me here but I`m ready for bigger and better things with someone who`s love is true and won`t give up when the going gets tough. I love wide open spaces, water, fetch, jolly balls and the wind in my fur. Once I know and trust you, you`ll see the side of me that gets lost in the stress of the shelter and the uncertainty of a constantly changing environment. I don`t love other dogs and I don`t give my heart away easily but I promise I`m worth the time and the energy. (Oh and breed experience is a big plus in my book!)
