Meet Willow, a 1-year-old boxer mix with an energetic and loving personality. At just 22 pounds, she’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. Willow is house-trained but needs a morning potty break right away (don't we all!) She thrives in active households and would love a dog companion who enjoys playing as much as she does. While she has plenty of energy, she also adores snuggling and wants to be by your side as much as possible.

Willow is shy around new people and may take a while to warm up, but eventually she does feel safe and settles in.  She’s not a fan of crates and prefers a crate-free environment. Because she’s still learning not to jump up, she’d do best in a home with older kids (8+) who can match her energy and enthusiasm. Willow is highly food-motivated, which makes her eager to learn and easy to train.

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion, Willow could be the perfect addition to your family. Reach out to learn more or schedule a meet-and-greet with this sweet girl!

We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
