About Willa
Willa is a bright, sharp, and high-energy pup with a love for life and learning. She’s eager to please, highly food-motivated, and enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, and engaging challenges. Willa thrives on routine and interaction, making her an ideal match for an experienced and active household that can keep up with her energy and intelligence.
While Willa is exceptionally smart and eager, she lacks the focused demeanor required for the Seeing Eye Dog role. However, her energy, intelligence, and loving nature make her a fantastic candidate for a family pet.
If your household has the time, space, and patience to welcome Willa, you’ll gain a loyal, energetic, and endlessly entertaining companion.
Where I grew up
Willa currently lives in a bustling household with six family members, including senior citizens, adults, and children aged 12 and 17. She’s accustomed to a dynamic environment with people around her throughout the day and has rarely been left alone. This lively upbringing has made her social and adaptable, but she’s still learning the ropes of good manners and behavior.
A good fit for me is...
Willa would flourish in a mature, dog-savvy household with:
- Prior experience handling high-energy dogs of her breed.
- Another friendly dog or pet for companionship.
- No very young children (she’s best suited to homes with older kids or adults).
- Active lifestyles with access to a safe, large outdoor space for her to run, sniff, and explore.
- Patience and commitment to ongoing training and socialization.

- Loves Routine: She thrives on a structured schedule, patiently waiting for outdoor time in the morning and sleeping soundly through the night in her crate.
- Social & Playful: Willa enjoys spending time with her family, playing games, and even popping bubbles for fun.
