Willow may be small, but she’s packed with personality! This little sweetheart is curious, clever, and ready to take on the world one tiny paw at a time.

Willow is a quick learner who already understands mealtime manners. Hold her bowl up by your chest and she’ll sit nicely and wait for her food. She’s coming along well with house training too. She uses her pee pad and is going outside more often to potty, especially after she eats.

Car rides are no problem for this girl. She travels like a pro in a doggie booster seat or crate and is happy to tag along wherever you go. She’s doing nicely on leash for her age and is easygoing about baths and nail trims.

Willow loves to play and explore, but once she’s worn herself out, she’s happy to settle in for some sleepy cuddles. She’s not a full-time lap dog, but those snuggly moments are extra sweet.

Willow would thrive with:
A loving, engaged home ready to enjoy the fun of puppyhood and help her learn and grow. Willow loves other dogs and would happily share her home with a friendly canine companion, but she’ll do just as well as an only dog..

Care notes:
Like many small breed puppies, Willow eats 3–4 small meals a day and she uses a slow feeder at mealtimes.
