WILLOW

02/22/26 12:16 MHMeet Willow, a cautious and curious girl with a gentle heart and lots of personality.Willow is initially shy and careful around people, often keeping her distance at first, but she warms up with patience. She enjoys sniffing hands and allows gentle pets, and she knows sit, responding well to treats and positive encouragement. She’s comfortable being leashed and walked, though she may prefer slower, sniff-filled walks and the security of a confident handler.Willow has shown dog reactivity, including lunging or barking at other dogs through fences or on walks. She’s sometimes uncertain around other dogs but can show curiosity and brief friendly interest if guided carefully. Because of this, she’ll do best in a home without other dogs or with slow, structured introductions.Willow would thrive with: A patient adopter experienced with shy or reactive dogsPositive reinforcement and gentle guidanceCalm, structured walks and safe enrichmentTime and space to build confidence at her own paceWillow is a sweet, treat-motivated girl who rewards patience with affection, sniffy exploration, and gentle companionship.
