About Willow

Meet Willow, a gentle soul in search of a loving home. This shy girl, weighing in at 35.0 lbs, is a medium-sized dog who's learning to navigate the world with a little extra TLC. She entered the care of Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) on June 2, 2026, and has since been in a foster home to help her build confidence. Willow gets along well with non-running cats and even large dogs, though she does like to keep her toys to herself from time to time.
