Willow

Willow needs a forever loving home!

Willow was adopted from a local shelter in April 2024. My Husband was looking for a match for an emotional support animal and after spending some time at the shelter with Willow, we were immediately drawn to her sweet, loving personality! Willow has adjusted well to our home although, she is not fond of being left alone for long periods of time and does suffer from mild separation anxiety but, has done better when crated. Unfortunately, my Husband was diagnosed in August with a very unexpected medical condition with many uncertainties that has created the need to rehome Willow. Willow, needs an owner and or family who can provide her with lots of attention as she can be very needy at times, loves to snuggle and be petted and would benefit highly from either a yard or run as she does have a lot of energy. Willow is a very sweet girl, who can sit pretty, shake and will occasionally sing or howl when asked. This is not an easy decision but, we are hopeful she will find an amazing home! Please help Willow today.
