Flambeau

💚💙 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION — FLAMBEAU AKA WILLOW 💚💙

Meet Flambeau, affectionately known as Willow, a gorgeous 2-year-old Wolfhound mix with personality plus! 🩷

Equal parts athlete, comedian and cuddle bug, Willow lives life at full speed before curling up for the world’s most luxurious nap.

Willow is incredibly energetic and athletic. She can leap like a show dog and loves zooming around at greyhound speed before settling beside her people for cuddles and a well-earned snooze. She would thrive with an active owner or family who enjoys walks, adventures or even jogging.

She currently walks using a Halti but can still pull when she becomes excited, so she needs someone confident and physically capable of handling her while continuing her lead and obedience training.

Willow is already making wonderful progress with her manners. She can sit on command and is well on her way to offering a paw before dinner is served. She is eager to please, enjoys learning and will continue to blossom with consistency and guidance. She is also very well toilet trained.

One thing you’ll never question is how much Willow loves her people. She is incredibly affectionate and would love to be someone’s best friend. Her ideal home will include her in everyday life and provide plenty of love, cuddles and enrichment.

She has some wonderfully quirky habits too! Willow will happily balance along the back of the couch like a cat, and if there’s a pile of pillows or blankets nearby, she’ll somehow perch on top of every single one like the princess and the pea. 👑

Willow also loves travelling in the car and is a wonderful passenger, making her a fantastic companion for adventures. 🚗🐾

In foster care, Willow has spent time with a 2-year-old child and has been patient, gentle and non-reactive. However, she is a large and enthusiastic girl who can accidentally knock little ones over when excited. For this reason, older, dog-savvy children would be the best fit.

Willow could happily live with another dog, provided they are confident and comfortable with her enthusiastic, high-energy play style. She would enjoy having a playful canine companion to share the fun with! 🐶

Willow does not have separation anxiety and can settle when left home alone. Her foster carer has been out for an entire day and returned to no destruction.

However, Willow doesn’t always understand which toys belong to her! If toys are left lying around, she may assume they’re hers and chew them. Keeping children’s toys and treasured belongings out of reach, while providing suitable dog toys and enrichment, will help set her up for success. 🧸🙈

Willow does have a prey drive and is therefore not suitable for a home with cats or other small animals.

If you’re searching for an affectionate, hilarious and larger-than-life companion and are committed to continuing her training, Willow has so much love, laughter and loyalty to share. 🏡❤️
