Willow

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. Despite a challenging beginning, she’s blossomed into a loving, curious girl with an unstoppable zest for life. A distemper survivor, Willow has endured more than most pups her age, 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, she’s happiest when exploring the world with her person!

Ideal Home

Willow would thrive in a single-dog home where she can be the center of affection. She 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. No snack-sharing please, as Willow can guard her food around other dogs.

Ongoing Health

Willow is a distemper survivor.

Training & Support

Willow can guard her food around other dogs and has shown protective behaviors. She is fearful of strangers, particularly men, which can cause her to react defensively when she feels unsure or unsafe. She also tends to nip when overly excited. These behaviors are rooted in past trauma and fear, not aggression, and she’s actively working through them in a board-and-train program focused on building confidence through positive reinforcement. She is crate trained, house trained, and knows the “sit” command.
