Meet Willow!
This courageous two-year-old Siberian Husky/American Pitbull Terrier mix has a tricolor coat that shimmers as brightly as her unstoppable spirit. Willow’s story is one of resilience, growth, and hope. Despite a challenging beginning, she’s blossomed into a loving, curious girl with an unstoppable zest for life. A distemper survivor with a fighter’s heart, 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. Walks? She looooves them, 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 attention. She could potentially do well with a dog of similar energy and age, but food sharing is a no-go. A calm, adult family that values routine and kindness, and is home often, would be ideal for Willow.
Ongoing Health
Willow is a distemper survivor.
Training & Support
Willow can guard her food around other dogs. She has shown protective behaviors, including a past incident where she attempted to bite a mail carrier when startled, and she tends to nip when overly excited. She is also fearful of strangers, particularly men, which can cause her to react defensively when she feels unsure or unsafe. These behaviors are rooted in past trauma and fear, not aggression, and she’s actively working through them in a board-and-train program. She is crate trained, house trained, and knows the "sit" command.
