Hi I'm Willow! My foster mommy says I'm a very sweet girl who gives amazing kisses. I'm a little girl at about 18 lbs chihuahua mix (I look like a chiweenie), but I have BIG love to give! In my current foster home there are two dogs my age/size and we get along really great..with the one we even started snuggling once or twice. We LOVE to play and run around chasing each other back and forth, play tug and wrestle - I love it!!! I would love to have a doggie brother or sister to play with and keep me company when my person/persons aren't home. I do ok in a kennel during the day while my foster parents are at work, but I'm also between my two foster brothers in their kennels so I feel secure despite not being a fan. I usually have my Kong with me to keep me occupied. Bonus if you have a fenced yard for me to run and play and get out my zoomies! I love to cuddle! Cuddling my foster papa at night is really my favorite (don't tell foster mommy). I like to sleep in my foster parents' warm bed. I burrow myself under the covers and settle right in. I'm potty trained on a schedule and do my business outside. My fosters noticed recently I try to get my people's attention by annoying them or going to the door and lightly pawing it. I'm housetrained and don't try to get into things that aren't mine. Put some teats/food in a Kong or give me a stuffy, ball or other toy to play with and I'll keep myself entertained. Did I mention I'm a championship cuddler? I can be shy when meeting new people. With a calm approach and (once I know you're a good person) I warm up within minutes even giving random kisses on occasion.. I can be vocal with people in my yard. With a little correction I settle quickly. This includes that scary Amazon guy. Lol. There aren't any cats in my current home. My fosters noticed I have a strong prey drive for fast moving bunnies in the yard so that kitties may not be a great fit for me. I'm pretty good in the car. I like to look out the windows and usually settle after a bit. I'm good on a leash too! We went walking at a car show recently and even at this place called Home Depot and even Petsmart. With a little more practice I'll be a pro soon enough. I'm close to mastering commands like sit and stay. I'm very treat motivated so training me should go well if you have those little yummy treats to reward me. There aren't any kids in my current home but my foster home but I've met several since being in rescue and loved them even giving them kisses and getting pets and hugs. My foster mom FINALLY realized I like to play fetch. It's so much fun! Hopefully you like what you've read and would like to meet me and make me a member of your family. I promise you won't regret it.
