Introducing Willow Braemer

We adopted this wonderful dog on Monday.  Several months ago Willow was brought to the shelter as a stray. She was about 10 months old, under socialized and very timid.  Despite being a beautiful lab mix with a surprisingly quiet temperament, she was just so shy, she could not get herself adopted.  All for Dogs came to her rescue and put her into a foster home.  Her foster family included other dogs and cats and she did very well, eventually getting adopted by what was expected to be a forever family.  Apparently a couple of weeks ago she began piddling inside and here is where my information gets a little sketchy.  Her family contacted All for Dogs  to turn her over to them and, once again, they came to her rescue.  They took her to the vet, determined she had a urinary tract infection, began her treatment at Happy Tails Boarding in Redmond and listed her for adoption on their website.

I had just finished "walking" Emma, and asked the shelter's Volunteer Coordinator for suggestions of adoption agencies in addition to the shelter, she reminded me to try All for Dogs; I checked it later and  filled out the on-line application for Willow. She has had one accident her first day with us, but otherwise she is just an incredible dog.  She looks forward to making lots of new doggy and human friends here in Sunriver plus she will likely be getting a cat friend in the next few months.  Once we all get settled, we plan to adopt a kitty.

I'll still be walking dogs at the shelter, however this week has been too busy.
