Willow - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Hi, I'm Willow!

I'm a 4-year-old, 44-pound mixed-breed girl with a look that has everyone guessing! Maybe I have some Cattle Dog, maybe Corgi (check out my coat and adorable nub tail!), and maybe even a little Beagle. Whatever my recipe is, I'm one-of-a-kind!

I originally came from California and had a home of my own, but my person had to move out of the country, so I'm back on the search for my next adventure buddy. I'm a big fan of the outdoors and would love a person who enjoys hiking, long walks, and trips to the river as much as I do. I've been known to rack up 6-7 miles a day, so I'm not looking for a couch potato lifestyle! I could also stand to lose a few pounds, and an active home that can help me get back to a healthy weight would be wonderful.

I'm affectionate, but I'm not necessarily the type to spend all day glued to your lap. I'd rather get out and explore the world with you! I'm reportedly housebroken and have done well with other dogs. I haven't been around children, so that's still a bit of an unknown. Cats are a mixed bag: if they run, I may want to chase them, but apparently the confident, bossy cats in my previous home had me thinking twice! And squirrels? Well, let's just say I find them extremely interesting.

If you're looking for a fun, outdoorsy companion who will keep you moving and happily join you on your next adventure, I might be your girl. Just bring the leash, the hiking shoes, and maybe a towel for our river trips!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
