About Willa

Meet Willa! Willa was adopted as a tiny puppy but returned two years later. Fortunately, a shelter employee remembered her and fostered her just in time. She’s a big girl now, weighing in at 75 lbs, but in her mind, she’s still a small pup. Willa is goofy, playful, and loves to jump around, whether over the couch or trying to snuggle on your lap, seemingly unaware of her size. This joyful girl adores people, kids, and even small children, though her playful nature means supervision is essential around them. Willa is also great with both dogs and cats, thriving alongside larger canine companions who can match her energy. Potty trained and smart, Willa is eager to join in on every activity. She loves adventures, walks, and playtime, all while trying to fit herself on top of you during downtime. She's currently undergoing heartworm treatment but will be ready for her forever home soon. Willa's spirit is incredibly affectionate and full of life; she's looking for a family that won’t give up on her. With her adoption fee of $600—including transportation—Willa hopes to celebrate Thanksgiving with her new family, maybe even waiting under the table for turkey scraps.
