Zero now Willow - Has Been Adopted!

Zero was born April 2, 2023

​

I was shopping one day and saw her in the back of a car in a crate. I absolutely couldn’t pass it up. 

We brought her home and everything went amazing well. She potty trained quickly as well a kennel and dog door trained. She’s a very very smart dog.

​

She’s grown up around many other dogs young kids and older kids. She does has some apprehensions when it comes to men . She doesn’t cry or bark or bite she kinda runs away to somewhere in the house away from especially with men she doesn’t know. It definitely takes time for her to warm up to men.

​

As far as kids go she’s amazing she’s very playful and gentle. She definitely needs to be with someone that can give her a lot more time and she needs space. She used to having an 1/2 acre back yard to run in so she definitely needs that or someone that can take her out for walks frequently. She is vehicle riding trained as well as tent trained for camping and harness and leash trained.  She doesn’t chew on furniture or urinate on furniture or beds.​
