WILLOW is an incredible dog, only a young dog, she was found after being dumped in a residential area where it was only a matter of time before she would have been removed to a terrible fate. We know she was dumped because we found the owner who had her from a puppy . He told us she had got too big and didn’t want her back, but he hadn’t wanted to take her to the shelter…. All well and good but in dumping her to the streets he was destining her to something far far worse!
Willow is everything friendly, people, dogs, cats children a complete all rounder, we can tell she has not suffered severe abuse that may leave her with trauma as she really does love people, but she was heavily neglected, her coat was in a terrible state, matted , flea ridden and she was very very hungry and way too thin with her ribs showing, she also had some ligature marks around her neck which demonstrated she had been tied up, probably as she got bigger, poor Willow… The way we look at it is it’s his loss as she is one fantastic dog!

Willow is a young dog only just one year old when found, she is high spirited but oh so gentle, she is stunning regal looking with a thickish coat, she loves being stroked and as long as she is with you she is happy. She gets on with all the dogs in the enclosure where she currently lives so could live as an only dog or with another dog/s. She was tested with children and cats prior to her going to the enclosure and she loved being inside the home, went up the flights of stairs and settled herself on the rug. She has the kindest sweetest gentlest personality, the person who adopts this dog will be very very lucky. It’s hard to imagine that anyone could dump a beautiful dog like this, that so many people would love to own.

We expect Willow will need some boundaries and training with being a young big dog, along with a good consistent exercise routine, but her nature is such that she will only want to please you, so will want to learn.

Willow is neutered, vaccinated, chipped, and has been tested for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis before leaving Turkey along with proof of testing and signed vet letters.
