Meet Willow, a 2-year-old black Lab searching for her forever home. She arrived at the shelter as a stray last fall, unsure and scared. Initially adopted, she thrived in that home but found herself back at the shelter after her owner's difficult situation. Now in a foster home, Willow is slowly rediscovering herself under the care of her loving foster. Willow is a sensitive soul, showing sweetness even amidst her nerves. She loves affection and melts into gentle pets, often giving tiny lick kisses. A true shadow dog, she follows her human around, finding comfort curling up under a desk or at feet. Though she's still decompressing, she's crate trained and learning to appreciate leash walks more each day. In her previous home, Willow lived harmoniously with two dogs, two cats, and young children. Now in her foster home, she gets along well with the resident dog and enjoys some playtime. Willow is looking for a calm, patient environment with a gentle structure. She benefits from reassurance and needs a quiet spot to retreat to when she feels overwhelmed. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loyal nature shines through. Willow is ready for a new beginning. With your gentle heart and a commitment to helping her blossom, she will show you the devotion and sweetness she's capable of. Click apply to start the adoption process.
