About Willow
Meet Willow, a spirited two-year-old Siberian Husky and American Pitbull Terrier mix currently residing in Amherst, MA. With her tricolor coat shimmering brightly, she embodies resilience and zest for life. As a distemper survivor, her journey has shaped her into a loving and curious companion. Willow adores long walks, whether a simple stroll or an adventurous hike, filling her with joy. Currently sharing her space with four senior dogs, Willow does best in a single-dog home. While she could thrive alongside a similarly energetic dog, she prefers not to share food, as she can be protective around it. Willow exhibits protective behaviors, particularly towards strangers, especially men, and has tendencies to nip when overly excited. These reactions stem from past trauma, not aggression, and she is currently working through them in a positive reinforcement training program. Willow flourishes in a calm, adult environment where she receives plenty of one-on-one love and support. Crate trained and house trained, she knows how to sit on command and has shown clever tendencies, having once pushed through a screen window to be near her people. Willow seeks a patient family that understands the need for steady routines and kindness. If you believe in second chances and have the love and time to support Willow on her journey, she might just be the devoted companion your family has been waiting for.
