WILLOW. In European folklore, people believed knocking on the trunk of a willow tree would bring good luck, hence the phrase “knock on wood.” We’re here to share that WILLOW, a newly adoptable pup, might just be your very own good luck charm. Well, if you invite her into your life, of course.
Love, wonder, and whimsy tied together, WILLOW also happens to be brave in her boldness. Having adapted quickly to a new home environment, her hesitancy towards the outdoors quickly vanished, being replaced with a feeling of excitement for checking out new places and spaces. She’s driven, this one, and, eager to please her humans, she eagerly works through training. Being food-motivated as she is, treats are a big bonus for her after a job well done.
The key to her heart is belly rubs, and her puppy energy will leave you breathless. WILLOW is looking for a moderately active family that is keen to bring a loyal companion into their home. WILLOW enjoys going for walks and does well with a structured lifestyle in which she also practices crate training and regular downtime. This pup enjoys playing with small to medium-sized dogs and shows a slightly more reserved side with larger dogs. While WILLOW has yet to meet cats she has really loved interacting with kids so far!
They say that fortune favours the brave. Are you bold and brave enough to bring an energetic pup into your life? There’s house training and leash training. There’s structure and boundaries. And gosh, there’s a whole lot of work. On the other side of the coin, it’s adventure and companionship. It’s belly rubs and affection.
What do you say, ready to meet your good luck charm? You’d better knock on wood… and apply to adopt!
Please note WILLOW was at an adoption event this past weekend. While we encourage you to apply to adopt if interested, please note that we will be prioritizing applicants that met WILLOW onsite.
