Willow is the kind of dog who seems happiest when life is simple. A comfy place to relax, a few snackies, her people nearby, and a predictable routine she can count on. That's Willow.
Willow is estimated to be around 4 years old, weighs 78 lbs, and looks very much like a Rottweiler/Lab mix, though rescue rules apply and breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that she is a gentle, easygoing family dog who has already proven herself to be a wonderful house companion.
Willow is currently being fostered in a loving family home where she lives with a 2-year-old and an older German Shepherd. Her foster shared that she has a wonderfully calm, gentle relationship with both. She is house trained, crate trained, has excellent house manners, and has settled beautifully into family life. The best version of Willow is the one her foster sees every day- relaxed, comfortable, and happy to simply be part of the household- tea parties included. She also happens to know sit and shake, and she is very willing to show off those skills when snackies are involved. Willow appreciates the finer things in life, and treats definitely rank high on that list.

Willow would likely be happiest in a home that appreciates her calm nature and allows her a little time to settle into new situations.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Willow can be a bit shy when in new environments, even so, she remains easy to handle and showed us that she is more of a thoughtful, low-key dog than a social butterfly. She met new dog including a teeny-tiny small dog and our house cat appropriately and generally preferred minding her own business over seeking interaction or being pushy at all. Once she feels safe and secure, she's the kind of dog who simply wants to be part of the family. Her foster shared that she does identify as a lovable lap-dog so be forewarned, Willow believes that lap-dog is a state of mind not a body type.
