About Willow Courtesy Listing

Willow has the best traits of both her German Shepherd and Australian Cattle Dog lineage. At just 1.5 years old and weighing around 50 pounds, she's a high-energy dog, full of curiosity and spirit. Willow thrives on mental and physical challenges, having been trained in obedience, agility, and herding ball. She's eager to learn and would be a great fit for an active home where she can join in on outdoor adventures like hiking or biking. While she's friendly with other dogs, meeting them off-leash is best due to her energy level. Her experience with cats and children is limited, so a home without them would suit her best. Willow is house trained and prefers not to be crated unless in the car. Although she enjoys company, she’s selective about snuggling—she primarily bonds with her person. Willow is looking for a new home since her busy young mom is unable to give her the attention she deserves. If you think you can provide the active lifestyle Willow needs, she is located in Newport, WA. Click apply to start the adoption process.
