Willow Still In Need-URGENT

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

Willow is still looking for her fur-ever home. If you think you may be a good fit for this beautiful girl, reach out and take her home!

Update from Mary Lou:

Thank you everyone who posted and cross posted.  It resulted in one very good lead and that is all it takes.  We were oh so close. Willow had met the interested party, they fell in love, Willow and his dog played non stop and we thought this is it. But it wasn’t to be for Willow and she now sits in the kennel waiting yet again. Everyone was heartbroken.  The physical environment of the house was just not right for Willow.  In addition to meeting the requirements of this special adopter, the physical environment has to be conducive to minimal stimulation.  Willow requires a completely fenced in back yard in a quiet setting since the home will be where she is most happy and will spend the vast majority of her time.  And so the search is still on. Here is her link again:

Urgent: Special Needs Dog needs Forever Home

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

Willow-Female, pit bull mix

http://pitbull.rescueme.org/Massachusetts?13-08-12-00223

This little bundle of wiggles was found wondering the streets of Boxford. The kennel staff in the pound were quickly drawn to her happy nature. She weighs in at 39 pounds and is around 1-2 years old. She needs a special owner. She is frightened of new people. She does warm up nicely once she gets to know them but she is not good with strangers. She has been in intensive training for 2 months accessing her needs. She knows all her commands and is extremely bright. Willow’s options for adoption are limited. She needs an experienced handler and a structured environment- calm and quiet. No wild parties for this girl. She is happy simply spending time with her people and doggie friends. And she thrives on affection. She needs an adult loving home that will be patient and keep up her training. Her ideal home would have another dog and fenced-in yard where they could play together. If you are an experienced dog handler that enjoys a quiet environment and could fulfill a need to help a dog with limited options please consider Willow. She loves walks, cuddles, car rides and playing with other dogs. Willow spends her time between the kennel and her foster Mom in Gloucester. She has wonderful eye contact and seems to have lots to say when she looks at you. Willow is trying to find her place and wants nothing more than a human companion who will spend time with her showing her a safe, quiet new life in this world. She is waiting patiently for that special someone. For that she will give you undivided love, affection and tons of smiles

Note from Mary Lou, her Foster Mom:

This is a dog that needs a very special owner.  She is a fabulous dog. All the attributes you would hope to have in your animal companion. Loyal, fun-loving, mild temperament, loves dogs, smart as a whip, cute as a button, loves car rides, housetrained, crate trained, requires little exercise, affectionate…

So why does she need a Special owner?  She is afraid of new people. Once she warms up to them she is their friend for life. But she needs someone who will keep her safe and someone who enjoys a quiet lifestyle preferably with another dog and a fenced in yard.  

PLEASE, Willow has been in shelters and rescues for nearly a year now. She so needs someplace to relax and decompress from the stress of it all. 

Will you please post on your FB site, ask others to share it  and keep posting weekly?

We need a massive campaign going to get this sweet girl into the right home.

Thank you,

Mary Lou
