Willow is here to help us kick off Friday!
Willow is a 5 year old, female Newfoundland. She has bilateral hip dysplasia and will need to be monitored for pain management needs as she ages but she is currently not on any medication for this condition. She would benefit from low impact activities such as walking and swimming. She is a bit clumsy, so she is unlikely to do well with older dogs or humans that are unsteady on their feet. She would do well with a dog that ignores her - a playful companion would not be a good choice. She would likely also do fine as an only dog. She takes no notice of the resident cat in her foster home.
Willow does well with her people and likes being petted. She enjoys laying next to her foster mom's desk while she's working and likes to chew on knuckle bones and bully sticks to keep herself busy. She does have some reactivity with strangers and will bark if people or other dogs stare at her.
