WILLOW - MEET ME 12/06/25 @ PETCO! - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $100 if picked up in TN, $175 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Willow starts every day like she is ready to win a gold medal in joy and fetch. She is a smart, high energy German Shepherd who loves having a job and loves her toys even more. At 3 years old and about 70 pounds, Willow is everything people adore about the breed. She is sharp, playful and full of heart. She knows sit, crate, go outside, come, stay and even find it for her beloved ball. She is fully housetrained and sleeps or relaxes in her crate when needed. If you want a dog who lights up the moment you pick up a toy, she is your girl. Fetch is her true passion. She will proudly bring her ball, stare at you like you are the chosen one and then sprint after it with full commitment. She enjoys playing with dogs her own size who are polite and not pushy. She is sweet with kids and anyone willing to throw her ball. She is not a fan of other dogs stealing her toys and she has a high prey drive, so small dogs can look a little too fun to chase. Willow loves car rides and sees them as an adventure. Leash walking still needs some work, but she is bright and motivated which makes training easier. She has done well with the two large dogs in her foster home and even plays with the younger one. Willow will thrive in an active home with someone who enjoys engaging a working breed and who has a strong throwing arm. She has so much love and enthusiasm to give and she is ready to make someone very happy. If you think you might be her match, reach out to us for more information. Meet this dog at Petco on Saturday, Dec 6th from 1-4 pm CST at Petco, 377 W. Jackson St #11 Cookeville, TN 38501. Interested in adopting?
