About Willow

Willow, a playful Shiba Inu mix, had a rough start to life. She was found confused and abandoned at just 3 months old but has quickly blossomed into a loving companion.

Willow enjoys home life, where she chases balls, wrestles with her foster sister, and cuddles on laps. She's responsive to training and uses buttons to communicate when she wants to go out or play. She has a sweet nature and has gotten along with every dog she's met. While she’s still trying to figure out that cats aren’t just quirky dogs, there’s no doubt that she’ll adjust with the right guidance. This eager cuddle bug is excited to find a loving family ready to cherish her. Willow is ready for her next adventure, so why not make her part of yours?
