Willa - English Setter and Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in Effingham, Illinois

Willa is the kind of dog that's impossible not to smile at. She's all long legs, happy eyes, and a gentle heart, still growing into herself and figuring out this whole "being a well-mannered adult" thing.

We believe Willa is a Great Pyrenees and Setter mix, around 2 years old. She's a little underweight and her coat could use some extra care, but that's nothing a good diet, regular brushing, and a loving home won't fix. With a little TLC, she's going to be absolutely gorgeous.

Like many young dogs, Willa still has a little pep in her step. She enjoys stretching those long legs, exploring the world around her, and would love a family that will continue teaching her good manners and basic obedience. She isn't wild or over-the-top, just a young, gangly girl who sometimes forgets how big she is.

Beneath that youthful enthusiasm is an incredibly sweet dog. She loves affection, happily gives kisses, and has a soft, loving personality that shines through the more time you spend with her. We also believe she was house-trained at one point, but a refresher course will be needed in a new home.

Willa is ready for a fresh start with a family that will see her potential, help her build confidence, and enjoy watching her blossom into the amazing dog she's meant to be.
