Willow is a sweet 11 month old Lab Mix puppy with a lot of energy and love. She is a friendly, playful dog and gets along well with other dogs, children, cats, and people. She is current on all shots and is spayed. She is very smart and learns quickly. She has gone through obedience training and does well with down/sit stays, coming when called, walking on the leash, and boundaries. However, she is still a puppy and would need further training to quell instinct behavior that can interfere with her obedience skills and help her through her puppyhood! For example, she does well walking on a leash but is a bit strong and needs a little work (primarily if someone is in front of her). She would make an ideal friend for someone looking for a special companion to hang out with or run and take walks with. She runs well alongside a bike. Willow will also need a home with a very active family. She loves attention. In short, she is an oversized lap dog! She will search it out! She is affectionate and even gives hugs (kisses, too of course!) She loves to play fetch. She will go and get her toy to initiate play. Willow is also good at playing on her own with toys, but will chew them until destroyed. She has not been destructive in the yard. She is a strong, athletic dog and a high jumper. She will need a house with a taller (6’) fence, though she has not tried to escape. She would do fine with other dogs in the home, but would still seek a lot of attention. Cats would be fine, but no small children. She is medium to large size with a thin build. She is very loyal and would do best with a family that is not away from home a lot. Willow is crate trained, and the family would need to ensure she has access to a crate as she feels safe in it. She travels well! She loves to go to the dog park too!
