Willow - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

Willow is a sweet 3 year old, 29-pound Shepherd mix who would love nothing more than to be your shadow. She loves affection, belly rubs, walks, toys, fetch, and being wherever her people are. She's a fantastic leash walker and settles nicely after a couple of daily walks.

Willow is house and crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in her crate. She may whine a little during the day if she hears something fun happening without her! She's smart, treat-motivated, and eager to keep learning.

She does wonderfully with other dogs, especially bigger dogs, but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. Willow can be a little wary of new people and may bark a few times until she decides they're safe, but she warms up quickly. She's also working on keeping all four paws on the floor and learning that she doesn't need to be possessive of her favorite humans, so continued training and positive guidance will help her shine. Older kids may be the best fit.

One of Willow's cutest features is her hilarious little pom-pom tail--it absolutely does not match the rest of her, and we love it! When you sit down to work, don't be surprised if Willow curls up at your feet and stays there for hours. She's the perfect little shadow looking for a person to follow home. ❤️
