About Willow Ava

Willow Ava is a small terrier mix whose journey started as a stray in Milwaukee County. No one came forward for her, so now she’s seeking the right family to finally settle down with. Willow Ava is sweet and eager for her own space but isn’t a fit for homes with cats or dogs. After being adopted and returned when she struggled with other pets, she needs to be the only animal in a single-family home, ideally somewhere she won't have to meet other dogs regularly, such as in apartments or busy neighborhoods. Background details like her breed and age are best guesses, but her gentle spirit is clear enough. Willow Ava is waiting for someone who understands her need for a calm environment without other pets. She’s hoping for a loving family ready to give her a fresh start.
