Willow has now arrived at Lisa's house who is treating her for the "worst fungal infection she's ever seen".
After two days of anti-fungal/anti-microbial shampoo, things already look better and she is now on a special diet that will help her heal up.
Through all the treatments, Willow is just the sweetest little girl.
And actually looks adorable even through the process of getting her all dried up after the bath--don't you think?
I am a sweet girl, I love when she pets me, I wasn't so sure at first, but I warmed up quickly. I'm learning what stairs are, although I'm a little timid with them right now, I bet when you come back for another update I'll be running up and down them in no time! And if felt so good to get a bath, I enjoyed it, I didn't try to get out of the bathtub, I smell so good now. I enjoy being around kids and other dogs, I have not been cat tested, but if you have a cat and you are interested in me the rescue can cat test me.
I'm Willow, an English Setter. I'm not sure how old I am, probably about 2 yrs old. I'm a tiny girl, under 40 lbs. Some nice volunteers took me in, I was found wandering around the parking lot in Morrow County, that is in Ohio.
Nobody came to get me. The volunteers think I had a litter about 3-4 months ago. I'm very shy and timid, but I warm up quickly as long as someone pets me. I'm told I'm going to go hunt testing this weekend and I'm going into foster care. I'm looking foward to that, a nice warm house to sleep in. Hey, do you have room for a friendly dog like me in your house?
We had the pleasure of meeting Willow during her journey from Ohio to Illinois.
Willow stayed at our house as an overnight guest.
Willow is a great passenger in the car. She's quietly curling up on the seat and waits just as patiently once you've arrived somewhere, until you are ready to take her out of the car.
She was happy to meet all the dogs and very curious to explore the house.
Before Willow came into IBR she might never have lived the good life in a cozy home. So many things seemed absolutely new to her....such as a slippery kitchen floor, which she still mastered, just because she was determined to visit with you...and the hallway mirror, before which she stood in amazement ("who is that handsome girl in there?)
Willow has the sweetest personality and is a cute wiggle butt, when she's excited. She actually dances when she's a happy girl. She also LOVES any kind of rawhide chews, and kept herself quietly busy when we were relaxing in the family room.
Willow loved to be exploring the yard even though it was covered in snow and was not making any attempt to go over our 3 1/2 foot chain link fence.
We had great fun with this cutie pie of a setter girl and hope she'll find her forever home really soon!
Willow loved to meet all the other dogs.
She even tried to play wrestle games right off the bat....
...but didn't seem to quite know how to get started.
Wills Jr. tried to show her the ropes though.
