Meet Willow<br/><br/>Vibe Check:<br/>Retired from Ridglan Farms, wanting to forget what she has endured. Ready for the good life.<br/><br/>Fun Fact:<br/>Willow is a toy destroyer. She enjoys gutting stuffies like a pro.<br/><br/>Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge<br/>Age: Adult<br/>Size: Medium<br/>Fostered in: Madison, Wisconsin<br/><br/>Willow's Origin Story:<br/>Like all the beagles released from Ridglan Farm, Willow has not had a life full of family, love, and socialization. She will need patience and understanding to make up for lost time.<br/><br/>Health Notes:<br/>Willow is spayed and is fully up to date on her vetting. She is currently eating a raw diet, and it is recommended that an adopter continue with this to ensure that her tummy remains stable. Many of the beagles that came out of RF had significant digestive issues for a while, and the raw diet seems to have stabilized that. The Ridglan beagles have been found to be prone to vaccine reactions. She will need to receive Benadryl 24 hours before and 24 hours after vaccines to prevent this going forward. <br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Willow is a brave, active girl. She has overcome a lot of trauma in his five weeks of freedom. She will need help learning how to leash walk, and enjoys playing with her doggy foster siblings. She is remarkably adaptable, and would thrive in a home where she is included in daily life. She is getting better at accepting human companionship, but will need to be approached slowly and at her level. She is definitely more comfortable with women.<br/><br/>While she is still people-shy, she warms up to adults. We believe she would also be good with and respectful, older children. She is excited when you return home from being at work. She gets along well with other friendly dogs, and loves to play with them, and currently lives with two dog friendly cats.<br/><br/><br/>Family Matters:<br/>Willow would love a confident dog sibling. Her foster siblings are a great source of happiness for her, and she will continue to need this going forward.<br/><br/>When she is ready, she will put her paws on you, and will even stand on you, but it will take time for her to trust you. An adopter will need to be calm, patient, and understanding as she continues to learn to be a dog.<br/><br/><br/>Things Willow Loves<br/><br/>Toys<br/>Affection, but on her terms<br/>Sniffy yard patrols<br/>Calm visitors, especially if female<br/>Warm weather<br/>Life outside a cage<br/><br/>Signature Move: <br/>Looking at you with those big, sweet eyes and making your heart melt<br/><br/><br/>Bucket List:<br/>Learning how to be a pet<br/>Her own fluffy bed<br/>A dish that will always have enough healthy food to fill her belly<br/>Lots of walks<br/>Space to sniff with that beagle nose<br/>A patient, loving family with soft hands and lots of love to offer<br/><br/><br/>A Few House Rules:<br/>Because these dogs have been through so much, it is our job as those entrusted with their care to be very thoughtful in their placement.
