Meet Willow!
Willow is a courageous two-year-old Siberian Husky/American Pitbull Terrier mix with a tricolor coat that shimmers as brightly as her unstoppable spirit. She's a distemper survivor with a fighter's heart, but you'd never know it when she's trotting happily on a long walk or curling up beside her caregiver for a cuddle session. She looooves walks, whether it's a brisk stroll or an adventurous hike, and she's happiest when exploring the world with her person!
Ideal Home
Willow would thrive in a home that can offer her one-on-one love, structure, and understanding. She prefers to be the center of affection and would do best in a single-dog home, though her trainer believes she could thrive with a dog of similar energy and age. She does not do well with snack-sharing due to resource guarding. She is fearful of strangers, particularly men, and can react defensively when feeling unsure or unsafe. Willow needs a calm, adult family that values routine and kindness, and she's especially compatible with guardians who are home often and understand the beauty of going slow and steady.
Ongoing Health
Willow is a distemper survivor.
Training & Support
Willow has a past incident where she attempted to bite a mail carrier when startled and tends to nip when overly excited. These behaviors are rooted in past trauma and fear, not aggression, and she is actively working through them in a board-and-train program. She is crate trained, house trained, and knows the "sit" command. She has also figured out how to push through a screen window to be near her favorite people.
