A Note from the Foster: Meet Willow!
Willow is a four-month-old shepherd mix with stunning coloring and an even sweeter personality. She’s a gentle, social girl who loves everyone she meets — men, kids, dogs, and even cats. She’s the kind of puppy who fits right in wherever she goes.
At night, Willow sleeps wonderfully in her crate without a peep. During the day she’d much prefer to be out and about with her people instead of hanging out in the crate — she’s a curious pup who doesn’t want to miss a thing.
Willow is also a bit of a grazer when it comes to food and isn’t particularly food-motivated (a unique trait for a puppy!). She’s doing well with potty training, though like many young pups, she can get caught up in playtime and forget to head for the door in time. She’s learning quickly with consistency and gentle reminders.
Willow is affectionate, friendly, beautiful, and eager to be part of a family. She’ll thrive in a home that gives her structure, playtime, and lots of love — and she’ll give all of that right back.
If you’re looking for a sweet, social, gorgeous puppy to grow with your family, Willow may be the perfect match.

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
