Meet Willow

Breed: Doberman Pinscher / Poodle (medium and standard) / German Shepherd / Golden Retriever / White Swiss Shepherd DOB: 12/2018 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: large Color(s): black / red brown Description:***Needs a Foster Home***This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering, please fill out an online foster application. Hi, I'm Willow, my Wisdom DNA results are in and I’m 53% Doberman Pinscher, 20% Poodle (medium and standard), 18% German Shepherd, 6% Golden Retriever and 3% White Swiss Shepherd. I’m comprised of some awesome breeds and not only that, I’m sweet and loving, gentle and smart, super loyal, great health, and just 100% amazing dog! I’m searching for my fur-ever home as my owner could no longer care for me. I have spent most of my life in a loving family environment, so I'm a great family dog and would do well in a home with older kids or just Mom and Dad. I would like a home where someone is around most of the day, as I want to be near you as I sometimes can have separation anxiety and get lonely. I’m housebroken, I walk well on a leash and listen and look to you for direction. I’m gentle with treats - have no food or toy aggression. I know several commands: sit, down, speak, shake, stay, and I could learn more. I love walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, laying in the sun, and love car rides. I’m not a fan of bikes, skateboards, scooters or motorcycles. But, with the frequent offsite visits with volunteers they are teaching me that these things won’t hurt me and I know within time with your training, love and knowing I feel secure with you, I will adapt to these things. I’m also feeling quite comfortable going into stores and restaurants and I’ve made several friends in the places I’ve visited. I prefer to be the only dog and only pet in the home. But, if you have another dog, we would need to have a ‘meet and greet’ first to see if we are a fit -- I’m not good with cats. I am the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loving dog and waiting for my new family! If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application.*Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving her the chance for a better life.
