    Default Introducing... Willow.

    We had our interview with the Basset rescue and it went well.. and we have Willow on a trial basis right now. She listens really well, and can sit and shake a paw. She's superrrr affectionate! She was pulled from the humane society from the basset rescue because she was deemed unadoptable and would be put down due to her heart murmur.

    Here's the 10 year old girl. she is a bit tubby and is currently on Medi-cal but if the trial period goes well she'll be on raw.





    Tess, Italian greyhound, born April 2, 2011 and raw fed since June 5, 2011
    Bishop, Shetland sheepdog, born June 25, 2010 and raw fed since August 18, 2011
    Willow Hound, basset, born Oct 5, 2001 and raw fed since February 5, 2012

    She looks lovely! How's she getting along with your other dogs so far?

    Hope the trial goes well so we can see the improvement in this girl when she's switched to raw. Make sure you document her before/after condition too.

    Oh my Lord you got the old gal! Yay! I am so happy for both of you. She is adorable.

    By the way, I'm sure you know this but lots of dogs live a normal lifespan with heart issues. I do believe you deserve a special halo for considering adopting a dog that has heart disease.

    You are just the best. Taking on an older dog with health problems, seriously, thank you, you are a good person. I hope with everything I've got that it all goes well for everyone. Thank you <3

    Both Bishop and Tess seem to like her.. and she LOVES my black and white cat, LOL. There was no history of her with cats in her file but she thinks he is just the coolest thing ever. The trial period is pretty variable, she just said give it a couple weeks and see how it goes, then we can talk about adopting her.

    Two days you might give her back - I bet there's no way after two weeks! she'll be part of the family.
