Dog of the Week: Willow!

Please put your paws together for Willow, our Dog of the Week!

This little monkey was brought to a Quebec shelter because her person entered a senior's residence and could not bring Willow with her. Although she may have been loved, she was not well taken care of as she arrived dirty and matted, terribly underweight, and with an ear infection to top it off. After spending two very anxious and scared weeks at the shelter, they decided that Willow would be better off with Hopeful Hearts, and so she was welcomed with open arms.

Willow was very timid for the first little and would curl up into a ball if anyone approached her, but that didn't last long. It's almost as though she blossomed overnight, because one morning she woke up and started doing zoomies all over the house. She had a new lease on life.

It's now been almost three weeks since Willow came to Hopeful Hearts and she is a completely different dog. She smiles -- no, she grins! -- when she's happy and just absolutely loves life. She dances when she sees her leash and collar and she adores her bouncy ball with feet. Right now she's learning how to fetch and we figure she's going to be in the big leagues in no time. And if there was an award for best cuddler, she would win hands down.
