About Willow

Willow is an exceptional Akita, known for her intelligence and loyalty. Unlike many in her breed, she thrives in the company of other dogs and loves to play with them. While Texas can be sweltering for an Akita, she would truly flourish in a cooler climate where she can enjoy her days without the heat weighing her down. Spayed and on monthly heartworm prevention, Willow is a delightful companion just waiting for her perfect home. She adores children and is well socialized with other dogs, though she doesn't get along with cats or small animals. Given the recent changes in her family, they are seeking a loving environment where Willow can be her best self. They are even willing to drive her anywhere in the U.S. for the right match.
