Meet WILLOW!
WILLOW is an approximately 5-month-old puppy weighing about 23 pounds, and she’s the perfect mix of adventurous and affectionate. With her beautiful black-and-white rough coat and bright personality, she’s sure to capture hearts wherever she goes.
WILLOW is an outgoing, gregarious young dog who loves spending time with people and joining in on life’s adventures. When she enters a new environment, she may take a minute to observe and take it all in—but give her about two minutes, and she quickly blossoms into a playful, happy puppy ready to explore the world.
She enjoys playing with other dogs in social settings, but WILLOW would prefer to have her home and her humans all to herself. Because of this, she would do best as the only dog in the household, where she can soak up all the attention and continue building confidence with her person.
WILLOW settles nicely in a crate or pen at night and waits patiently in the morning for her humans to wake up and take her out for her potty break. Like any puppy, she will thrive with a committed family who is ready to continue her socialization, leash skills, and basic manners training. She is highly food- and toy-motivated, making training both fun and rewarding. With guidance, structure, and plenty of positive experiences, Willow has all the ingredients to grow into a wonderful companion—this young lady truly is the whole package.
WILLOW is crate-trained, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She is also on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.
If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate young dog who will happily join you on adventures and then cuddle up afterward, WILLOW might just be your girl.
WILLOW is started on her puppy vaccines, wormed, and microchipped. She is also on flea & tick and heartworm prevention. As a condition of puppy adoption, she will need to be altered when she reaches approximately 6 months (specific time to be determined by your vet). In addition to the adoption fee, puppy adoption requires a $75 spay/neuter deposit. Upon our receiving the spay/neuter certificate from you, the deposit is refunded. If you have an approved Adoption Application and wish to inquire, send an email to: Adoptions@norcalbcrescue.org.
WILLOW is fostering in Orangevale in Sacramento County, CA.
Thank you for considering adoption of your next best friend from NCBCRA. Our Border Collies are waiting to join your family.
