About Widget

Meet Widget! Widget is looking for a special adopter who lives within 30 minutes of our rescue until she can be spayed. This sweet pup is still figuring out that the world and the people in it can be friendly. She came from a backyard breeder in Missouri and is on a journey to build her confidence. Fortunately, she's shown us how much she thrives around other pets! Currently in a foster home with both dogs and cats, Widget loves to play with her furry friends. They give her comfort and help her feel safer, especially since she’s more at ease with dogs than people. Her ideal home would include friendly, confident canines to guide her and show her that humans can be wonderful, too. With some patience and a calm environment without young children, Widget can continue to blossom. Although she may take some extra time to warm up to you, the right furry friends and a patient family could help her shine. Could you be the caring home Widget has been waiting for? All our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and heartworm tested if old enough. Click apply to start the adoption process.
