Meet Willow!
This momma has such an inspiring story. Willow was found in December after good samaritans called in her sightings with hopes she was a well-known, missing dog from the area. Food stations and cameras were set up to track Willow’s movements and see if she was in fact, the missing dog. It didn’t take long for Willow to sniff out the bait food and be caught on camera. The first picture came in and BEHOLD! She was a nursing mom. It took two weeks of following her movements and resetting the trap/food stations to finally locate her pups. Eight healthy pups laid in her makeshift den she created, warm and cozy. Outside of the den laid dog toys and other goodies that had been brought by momma from various places as gifts to her babies.
Once rescued, all Willow’s pups were quickly adopted. Willow tested positive for heartworm and was diagnosed with a cataract in one eye, making her at least partially or fully blind in that eye. This makes it even more miraculous how good of care she gave to her pups out in the wild. She made sure they all ate, were a healthy weight, and even brought toys for them to play with!
Now, it’s Willow’s turn to find her perfect home! Willow is a 2-year-old Redbone Coonhound mix who is dog and kid friendly. On your average day, you can find her chewing on bones or toys, playing with furry friends, then lounging on the couch and peering out the window searching for squirrels. She has recently learned her “sit” and “paw” commands and is starting to learn her “stay” and “come” commands. Next, we will work on leash pulling. She is such a quick learner! She is crate trained and house broken. She can be left out unsupervised while you work, and she doesn’t chew on anything she isn’t supposed to! She would love to go to a home where she can go for walks or hikes or have a furry friend to play with to get her energy out and cuddle with at night.
**Willow has not been cat tested. If interested, schedule a meet and greet with your kitty to see how they do. Willow has had all her vaccines and is now spayed! She is currently being treated for heartworm. She is a happy and healthy girl**
Come meet her at the Braselton Antique & Artisan Festival this Saturday!
