Willow
Healthy and happy now
Please note: The dogs in ODH's Final Refuge care are not adoptable due to medical reasons and all are in permanent homes. Your sponsorship supports the veterinary expenses for these dogs - and we thank you!
Willow is a lovely girl about 10 years old who had a long shelter stay after not much early education and a hoarding situation. She came as a 90 pound bull in a china shop, with 2 mammary tumors (fortunately benign), had not been spayed, and had a mouthful of teeth that would have frightened Frankenstein!. Through the generosity of Old Dog Haven, the tumors were removed, she was spayed, had a complete dental, and completed several weeks of professional doggie training.
Willow is now a healthy, happy dog of about 80 pounds who loves walks and playing outdoors…she could fetch balls all day… but is just as happy to be quiet inside, as long as she can be by her mom. She loves to cuddle, accepts gushing and hugs from strangers who think she’s wonderful (she is!), and has the cutest not-so-little tongue that sticks out when she’s sleeping, chasing rabbits in her dreams.
She takes treats very gently, is patient at mealtime, loves her baths, and is very good at the vet clinic. “Willie” is an alert, curious, smart and eager-to-please dog who is excited at her second chance at life, eager to finish discovering the life she deserves.
Everyone who meets Willow loves her, but none more than her mom.
