About Willow

Willow is a 5-year-old Morkie with a one-track mind—fetch. If you toss a ball, you’ve won a loyal friend for life. He’s got a lot of energy packed into his small frame and prefers action, not couch time. Walks, outdoor exploring, and constant games keep him happy. Willow isn’t interested in being a lap dog; he’d rather join in on every activity you’re doing and let you know how he feels about it, being quite the vocal companion. He thrives in a lively household that has the energy and enthusiasm to match his playful spirit. Another playful dog would probably be a huge plus for him, as long as they’re game for fun and don’t mind Willow’s never-ending attempts to make friends. Local adoption only. If you’re looking for a dog to spice up your routine with constant fun and a little mischief, Willow is ready to meet you. Born June 3, he’s a Gemini—no wonder he’s so outgoing and full of surprises.
