Are you right for Willow?
Willow is very sweet affectionate and clever girl looking for outdoor adventures with her new family. She is looking for a adult only home that is calm and quiet, with a consistent daily routine. Willow will need a home with a private garden to chill out in and an area indoors suitable for baby gates to be put into place, which will help with her routine around spaces and visitors. Potential adopters will need to be able to commit to multiple meets at the centre to get to know her at her pace. She loves her treats, and this will be great motivator for her continued training when in the home environment. Willow's new home will need to be within an hour's drive of the Bridgend centre, so that we can offer support for both owner and Willow.
Is Willow right for you?
Willow is a sweet affectionate girl who loves a fuss and chilling out on the sofa with her favourite people. She loves running around and playing with her toys and is learning to search for them when they are hidden around the garden. Willow loves nothing more than long sniffy walks, paddling in the river and meeting up with her dog friends for a walk. Even though she does socialise with other dogs, Willow would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Willow has learnt to be protective about her space, so advice will be given on how to manage this in the home on a daily basis and when visitors should visit. It would help Willow if she had her own 'safe' space to go to if she feels unsure around unknown people coming into the home or if she just needs time-out to herself.
Once you are besties with Willow, she is the most affectionate and loyal dog to go on adventures with! She is good in the car and will sit nicely on the back seat with a harness safely attached. She is a very intelligent dog and loves to learn new tricks and commands and this is a good way to build that bond with her. If you think you can offer Willow a home and are willing to continue on with her training needs, then with time and patience, she has the potential to flourish in the home.

Show detailsIf we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
