Story
Location: Front Royal, VA
Meet Willow. This gorgeous three year old mixed breed beauty weighs about fifty six pounds and is equal parts strength, sweetness, and comedy. With her soft flowing ears, soulful expression, and big personality, Willow has a way of making herself unforgettable from the moment you meet her.
Willow loves people. Truly loves them. She wants to be close, involved, and part of whatever is happening. Whether she is stretched out beside you on the sofa, soaking up the breeze on the deck, or trying her very best to become a sixty pound lap dog, her happiest place is near her humans. She adores pets, back scratches, and affection of any kind.
She settled into foster life quickly, especially considering the major change she has experienced after losing her previous owner. At first, she may cry a little when left alone, but she settles within a reasonable amount of time and is already learning that her people always come back. She sleeps quietly through the night in her crate and enjoys having a comfortable routine.
Willow is playful, goofy, and wonderfully expressive. She loves toys, especially if they squeak, though the squeakers rarely survive for long. Fetch is not exactly her game. In Willow’s mind, if you threw the toy away, clearly you did not want it anymore. She is also pretty sure any toy that rolls down a hill is a personal inconvenience directed at her specifically.
Car rides are one of her favorite things. Willow fully believes the passenger seat belongs to her and settles in like a proper copilot, calmly supervising your driving or curling up for a nap once she approves of your route.
She enjoys being outside, exploring, and stretching her legs, but she is not a dog who wants to live apart from her people. She wants connection, companionship, and love. Willow does have a bit of a bull in a china shop quality because she does not fully realize her size, but it only adds to her charm.
Willow is a strong, affectionate, resilient girl who has been through loss and change yet still greets life with warmth and joy. She is ready for a new home where she can settle in, feel secure again, and remind everyone daily how wonderful life is with a big goofy best friend by your side.
