Story
Meet Willow, a beautiful 4½-month-old, 19 lb Great Pyrenees mix with a soft, fuzzy coat and the most striking black-and-white piebald markings. Her DNA is below.
Willow was born with a condition called microphthalmia in both eyes, which means her eyes did not fully develop and she is blind. But Willow certainly doesn’t know she’s different! This special girl has an incredible joy and zest for life and approaches each day ready for her next adventure.
Willow is exceptionally smart, curious and eager to learn. She already knows “sit” and gets excited when she hears the word “ready?” because she knows a fun activity is about to begin. She’s currently learning “find it,” working on fetch, and absolutely loves playing with her flirt pole. Because she can’t rely on her vision, keeping her mentally engaged and giving her opportunities to use her other senses will be an important part of helping Willow thrive.
She’s also doing wonderfully with her routine. Willow sleeps quietly through the night in a crate in her foster’s bedroom—not a peep! She keeps her pen clean during the day and is working on learning how to find the door when she needs to go outside.
Above all, Willow is incredibly sweet, friendly and full of personality. Her blindness doesn’t take away from her life—it simply means she experiences the world a little differently. She is going to be such a fun and rewarding companion for someone who is excited to continue working with her, teaching her new things and giving that brilliant little mind plenty to do.
Willow is ready for a family who will embrace what makes her special and give her the active, engaging life she deserves. In return, they’re going to get one very smart, very happy and very lovable girl!
