Comments: Hi there, I'm Willow! I am very shy and pretty skittish around other humans, even humans I know and trust. I need to keep them within my sights at all times just in case. In case for what you ask?! Well, even I don't know. I just know those humans can be scary and quick! I have to pace and usually can't sit still in the house when my humans are up and about. I am on some medication to help me with my anxiety which does help.

I love my foster dog brothers. I like to sleep on top of them and cuddle close to them when I get scared or need another pup close to me. You can call them my 'emotional support animals.' They show me the ropes! When we play outside together, I tend to jump like a bunny because I am so excited and happy. I can play for hours and follow my brothers around to each of the trees in the yard just to make sure that all the squirrels are up there. I play follow the leader really well.

At night, I like to hang out in my mom and dad's room and will start to need cuddles from those humans around that time. Only on my terms though. I like getting my ears rubbed and my face scratched. I'll cuddle up to my humans, but usually only at night and when they have calmed down.

Leashes and walking are still a little scary. I tend to be afraid of quick movements and scary, loud noises. I need my foster brothers to walk with me to show me it's all okay. They really do a good job of showing me what to do.

My human mom is taking me to Basic Obedience Class and we are starting to work on clicker training. I still don't get what she's trying to do with this command called "sit? I do know the word "touch and I get a treat and a click every time I do it right, and I'm getting really good at that one! Mom said that she'll take her time with me and be patient with my training since I'm still nervous about the world.

If you want me to come to play at your house furever, I absolutely must have a brother or sister that I can play with. That brother and sister need to be kenneled by me and I need to see them so I know that they are there and they are safe, which in turn means I am safe. I also need a big, secure fence since I tend to get scared and have jumped over (and dug under) a few. I have also run out of open doors, so a baby gate would be in order too. I will probably need a transition period to my furever home.
