Willow's Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?<br/>Hi there, friend! My name is Willow.<br/><br/>ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?<br/>I am a very sweet girl.<br/><br/>HOW OLD ARE YOU?<br/>I am around nine years old as of mid-2026 (old enough to know what's important in life: naps, snacks, and cozy couches).<br/><br/>WHAT BREED ARE YOU?<br/>I am a brindle couch potato with a PhD in relaxation.<br/><br/>HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?<br/>I weigh a healthy 40 pounds! I may not look like a superhero, but considering I weighed only 13 pounds when I was rescued, I've made an incredible comeback!<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?<br/>I am the perfect-sized couch companion with beautiful brindle fur and soulful eyes that can convince almost anyone to share a snack. I'm compact, cuddly, and built for snuggling.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?<br/>I eat prescription kibble, and I take my meal schedule very seriously. Breakfast and dinner are the highlights of my day, and I appreciate anyone who serves them on time.<br/><br/>WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?<br/>I am the easiest dog you will ever meet. I'm perfectly content napping most of the day, enjoying a short stroll around the neighborhood, and soaking up affection from my humans. I'm low-maintenance, mellow, and incredibly grateful for the simple things in life. As long as my food bowl gets filled twice a day, we're going to get along just fine.<br/><br/>DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:<br/>My perfect day starts with waking up and enjoying a delicious breakfast. After that, I'd love to sit beside you on the couch while you drink your morning coffee and give me some gentle pets. Once that's done, it's back to bed for a nice nap. Later, a leisurely walk around the block sounds lovely, followed by-you guessed itanother nap. Dinner should arrive promptly, of course, and afterward I'd be happy to spend the evening lounging beside you on the couch. When I'm tired, I'll politely excuse myself and put myself to bed like the independent lady I am. But don't forget to tuck me in before you go to bed.<br/><br/>WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?<br/>I don't really play with toys very often. Every now and then, I might give it a few minutes of attention. But honestly, I'd rather spend my energy perfecting my napping technique.<br/><br/>DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?<br/>If being the best dog ever is a trick, then I'm an expert. I also know how to win hearts without even trying.<br/><br/>WHAT SCARES YOU?<br/>I don't really care for feet. (And honestly, who does?) If they get too close to me, I'll simply move somewhere else. Problem solved.<br/><br/>HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?<br/>I have been around older children. I'm a very mellow girl, so I prefer calm and gentle older kids over lots of running, noise, and chaos. The young humans I've met so far have been sweet and respectful, and I've enjoyed their company.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE CATS?<br/>My foster family doesn't currently have a cat, but I was rescued alongside a cat, so I have some experience sharing my space with feline friends.<br/><br/>HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?<br/>I can be a little selective about my dog friends. My foster family had a small dog that I grew to love very much before she passed away. I've also lived with a few foster dogs, and we all got along just fine by respecting each other's space. I'm not looking for a wrestling partner, I prefer a peaceful coexistence.<br/><br/>IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?<br/>Curled up on a comfy couch, taking a nap somewhere within petting distance of a human.<br/><br/>HOWS YOUR HEALTH?<br/>When I first arrived at the rescue, I had several health challenges. Thanks to a tremendous amount of love, medical care, and dedication from the rescue team, I have made an amazing recovery. I still take a few prescriptions and eat a special diet, but I'm feeling great and enjoying life.<br/><br/>WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?<br/>I live with two adults and a canine foster sister. I love both the humans equally...at least that's what I tell them. In reality, whoever is preparing my dinner is usually my favorite person in that moment. My foster dad does tend to sneak me extra treats occasionally, so he may have a slight advantage.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?<br/>I relax in my crate. It's my cozy little retreat where I can nap peacefully until my humans return.<br/><br/>WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?<br/>I sleep on a nice fluffy bed next to my humans' bed. They keep me in a little fenced area, which makes me feel safe and comfortable.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?<br/>Absolutely. I walk beautifully on a leash.<br/><br/>DO YOU HAVE ANY NOT SO GREAT HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?<br/>Honestly? Not really. I don't bark much, I don't dig, and I'm generally a very easy roommate. My biggest flaw might be convincing people that I deserve extra treats.<br/><br/>ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?<br/>Yes, I am completely house trained.<br/><br/>DO YOU LIKE WATER?<br/>No thank you. I firmly believe water belongs in a bowl for drinking. Baths are tolerated because apparently humans insist on them.<br/><br/>WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?<br/>They're wonderful. They provide delicious food, comfy places to nap, and endless love. In exchange, I generously allow them to share my couch. I especially love all the affection they give me and how safe they've made me feel.<br/><br/>IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOUR FUTURE ADOPTER?<br/>I am so grateful to the amazing people at NorCal Bully Breed Rescue who refused to give up on me when things were rough in my life, but I am now ready to find a family of my very own. I'm looking forward to the final chapter of my journey: finding a forever family to love. Maybe that is you? <br/><br/>**WILLOWS ADOPTION FEE IS $100.**<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Willow, please jump on our website and fill out an adoption application - www.norcalbullybreedrescue.org<br/><br/>At this time, we are asking for adopters to be in the Sacramento and IMMEDIATE surrounding areas (which means Sacramento County, parts of El Dorado County and parts of Placer County).<br/><br/>For more information on what that means and why that is, please click on the following link:<br/>https://www.facebook.com/333019703483910/posts/3264412130344638/?extid=0&d=n<br/><br/>Thank you so much in advance!
