Meet Willow. Willow was found abandoned at a property where someone moved out and left her behind. She gave birth to a litter of pups in the barn on the property and was rescued shortly afterwards. Willow is a great momma, she even took in two other pups from a different litter as her own (Marina and Maybelle the GSD mixes). Willow is funny and playful, but also submissive. She will roll on her back immediately often when giving her direction so we do not think she was much of an inside/loved pet. She can be affectionate but will need some time to learn that she is a house pet/family member and not a lawn ornament! Now that her pups are older she is actively seeking more attention from people and is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever had come through our program. Willow does well with most dogs. There have been times we have seen her act protective of her pups and growl at other dogs through barriers however we think with an introduction away from her babies she would not be protective.
