Update***
Willow was adopted by her foster family in April of 2025.
In late January of 2024 Willow was found scared and starving in an orchard. She appeared as if she recently had puppies, the area was searched for puppies but none were found. After a month of food and care she weighed 62 pounds. She was still very underweight. Willow was very timid and skittish. Her foster mom took it slow and let Willow choose the pace for being touched or handled.
By mid April Willow weighed 75 pounds! She was healthy enough to receive her vaccinations and have a mammary mass removed. She began to trust more people and be less timid to new new people and situations.
Fast forward, her vetting is complete, she is at a healthy weight , 85 pounds and she is ready to for her own family. Willow needs a patient and loving family, a quiet household and another dog to help her adapt to her new environment. Willow has elbow dysplasia and will occasionally limp if too active. She is currently not taking any medications for her elbow but may need medication in the future.
Willow likes to play with toys, stroll through the local Lowe’s but is your basic couch potato Bordeaux. She likes to lay in the sun.
Willow is good with cats.
Her rescuer chose the name Willow.
Like the Willow tree, she will grow and prosper despite unfavorable conditions.
All of our rescues are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and micro chipped before being placed. Completed application, vet reference and a home check required. We do NOT ship or fly rescues as it’s too stressful on them. For additional information please email yvette@ddbrescue.org
