Willow the 'friendliest little soul' is searching for a home after bad luck led her to the RSPCA Stubbington Ark
Do you have space in your home for a gorgeous pup?
Willow is a nine-month Cane Corso Mastiff/Staffordshire Bull Terrier hoping her luck is on the turn after a bad start in life led her to the Stubbington Ark.
The RSPCA appeal comes after it has revealed a rehoming crisis with record numbers of rescued dogs in care across the charity’s national animal centres and branches.
New data has indicated it can take up to seven times longer for some larger dog breeds to find a new home compared to smaller dogs.
“Willow is a bundle of energy but thrives around people and loves her training. She engages very well with her handler and is very food motivated, making training incredibly rewarding.
“She is a smart cookie who is looking for a dedicated family, who will be able to put lots of time and work into her ongoing training.”
Willow has previously lived with children and responded well with them and she can live with other dogs that would be happy to share their home with a puppy.
The RSPCA has said she cannot live with cats and can sometimes be destructive at home, meaning she can’t be left alone for long periods of time.
Becci added: “At the centre, she has done very well with exploring new places and loves to go on walks with other dogs. She will need on-going guidance from her adopters but we believe Willow could benefit from living with another adult dog.
“Willow is the most adorable and loving dog. She just needs people who will dedicate time in training her, she's got so much potential and did fantastically well in a foster home.
“She does amazing here at the centre with other dogs, she's the friendliest little soul, and makes friends with them very easily. She just really needs a home ASAP.”
Willow has no ongoing medical issues, but will need to be spayed when she is old enough, and her adoption fee is £250.
