Willow is a sensitive soul with the most beautiful and trusting eyes, longing to form connection.
She is a very nervous girl who can be worried by people and responds best to a gentle approach. With kindness, patience and the help of some tasty treats, she gradually begins to relax and will accept gentle strokes.
She is on her ongoing rehabilitation journey and has been living with our Daycare4Dogs family making small progress each day. Because she can be so fearful and skittish, we are looking for a home with experience of nervous dogs and a secure garden. She has so much potential, but it will take time and understanding before she truly feels safe.
One of the biggest areas Willow needs support with is building her confidence on walks and experiencing the wider world. She can panic when things become too much for her, so her new family will need to be willing to work at her pace.
Having other dogs around is incredibly important to Willow. She feels safest and most confident in the company of other dogs, and they play a vital role in helping her progress. Because of this, her new home must have at least one confident resident dog who can help show her that the world isn’t such a scary place.
The ideal home for Willow would be calm and quiet, allowing her to settle in her own time. She needs patient and understanding owners who will celebrate the smallest steps forward and never expect too much too soon. Watching this sweet and vulnerable girl blossom will be an incredibly rewarding journey. In return, you’ll gain a gentle, loving companion who looks to you for guidance and reassurance.
If you can offer Willow the security she needs to show you who she really is, you could help a truly special little dog discover her confidence and all the joy that life has to offer.
We are also happy to consider long-term foster homes to support Willow’s continued rehabilitation.
