Intake Date: 02/19/18 Last Update: 03/05/18 Date Available: TBD Age: DOB: Unknown. Let’s just agree that the day I go to my furever home is the start of my new life. Gender: Female Weight: 41lbs Energy Level: Low/Moderate Color & Markings: White/Orange Good with other dogs: Yes, I trust them more than people. Good with cats: Unknown Good with kids: BBR Policy states no children under the age of 8+. My ideal home would be a quiet, low key setting, but still somewhat active home. I do well relaxing during the day, when my foster parents are at work, but when they come home, I want serious cuddle time. I would definitely prefer a home with older kids, who can understand my past, my needs and fears. Object aggression: None Special Needs: I’m not sure if you can tell from my pictures, but I have some eye issues going on. They say I have something called limited vision and ulcers on my right eye. If that means I can see out of my left eye, but not much out of my right, that’s true, but this is something we’re working on. Due to my eye issues, I’m currently receiving three different eye medications and two different pills. My foster mommy keeps telling me this might change, we’re optimistic. My facial folds and tail pocket need to be cleaned weekly, if not more. I also need a quality food to avoid allergies. I've been enjoying Hill’s Sensitive Stomach and Skin, and that seems to be working for me right now. Oh, and treats, I love them. I will give you sad eyes to get as many as I can. Last, but not least, I need to take things slooooowwwww. I’ve lived all my life in a scary cage, so I get startled easily. I’ll tell you more about that later. Medications: Right now I’m on medication to help with my eyes, a good joint supplement, along with monthly flea/tick, and heartworm prevention. Crate Trained: Let’s just say we’re working on that. When you’ve spent your entire life in one, you don’t really ever want to go back. I know some of my furry friends love their crates, but me, not so much. Right now my foster mommy has a nice room set up for me, so I feel free. House Trained: My foster mommy says I have the best manners. I haven’t had a single accident in the house. Yay for me!!! Physical Fence Required: Yes; now that I’m living life outside a cage, I want to see the world. This big scary place may overwhelm me from time to time, but I still want to see everything. If you let me go, I’m going to take a journey. Adoption donation: $ TBD Prior to applying to adopt Willow please review our adoption process on our website with rules and process information.

My Ideal Home:
Hi there!!! Rumor has it, if you’re looking at my pictures then you might be looking to adopt. If that’s true, let me tell you about myself. My name is Willow. I’ve lived in this horrible place called a Puppy Mill all my life and it was no fun. In fact, it was downright scary. Don’t feel sorry for me though, because the nice people at Buckeye Bulldog Rescue saved me. I’m now in a loving foster home, learning all about life being free. When I was first rescued, I was very scared and in pain. Because of that, I tried biting the lady from the Rescue and the nice people at the Veterinary Hospital. I didn’t do it to be mean, I promise. All I’ve ever known is being hurt by the hands that touched me. On top of that, because of the neglect, my eye was injured and never treated, so I was in pain. When I was taken out of my cage and put in a car, I didn’t know what to expect; I thought I was going to be hurt again. Boy, was I happy to find out that wasn’t the case. With that said, I’ve been told I’m skittish. That’s a funny word, but if it means that loud noises and quick movements scare me, it’s true. When I’m touched, I jump or shake a little. My foster mommy is doing something she calls “touch therapy”. She plays soft, pretty music and she gently touches me, saying, “touch is good”, “you’re such a good girl”, and “I love you”. It might sound silly, but it makes me feel better. My heart even goes pitter pat and my tail wiggles, especially when I get kisses. I guess that means I’m happy. I get to go on walks at night and I want to look at everything. We go at night so strangers leave me alone and I can take it all in. You have to remember that I still jump at loud noises and I don’t know how I’ll react to a lot of people just yet. If something does scare me, my foster mom says, “its okay”, I relax and start walking again. I like to be reassured and given cuddles. When I go outside I want to explore. That includes trying to find ways to get out of the yard to see this big world; these things called fences hold me back. Don’t get me wrong; when I’m told “no”, I usually listen. We’re still working on this training thing, my healing and adjusting to this happy life.
I know that’s a lot for now, but I wanted to give you the basics. I’ll keep you posted on my progress, so promise me you’ll keep checking back. XOXO, Willow
