ADOPT ME

Here is her foster-mum’s write-up…

She is a 2 year old, gorgeous, chocolate labrador.

Willow has been on medication for skin issues because she came to us with lots of bald spots on halve of her body, diagnosed as seasonal allergies by the previous vet. We’ve changed her food to a grain free, fish based kibble with added salmon oil immediately after arriving and she’s now been off medication for a week without issues. Her coat has been growing back and we hope the food will continue to make a difference!

Willow loves attention from adults and children alike. She is very playful and affectionate and has settled in so well with us. Willow does not like to be left alone though, which results in her whining/barking when you leave to go somewhere else in the house. She has been okay with leaving her at home alone for a few hours though, when she knows you’re not there. She’s now used to sleeping downstairs without a fuss too.

She loves to play with toys and carry around stuffed toys, but will sometimes destroy them, leaving the floor littered with white fluff 😂. Willow pulls a bit when out on a lead with excitement and wanting to sniff everywhere, but this can be worked on easily in her new home as she is highly food motivated (don’t leave any food within reach without paying attention or it will be gone within seconds!😜). Willow is fully housetrained.

Willow is a lovely, good-natured girl who will be a wonderful addition to any family. She will definitely need lots of attention and activities so will need someone to be home most of the time”.

Willow has lived happily with children before coming to us so could live with children of 8+.

She lived with a cat but did sometimes play-chase so would be best in a cat free home.

Willow has been vaccinated and spayed so can be rehomed a little further field for the perfect home.
