Meet Willow, a small, gentle soul with the sweetest personality. While she may take a little time to warm up to new people and situations, once she trusts you, she is incredibly loving and devoted. Willow was rescued alongside her puppy on the side of a busy Tennessee highway. She still carries a mark around her neck from what was likely an old collar, rope, or chain -- a quiet reminder of the difficult life she left behind. Now safe in foster care, Willow is blossoming into a wonderful companion. She is calm, low-key, and happiest simply relaxing with her people or curling up on the couch nearby. She can be a bit skittish with new things, so she would thrive with someone patient and understanding who will help continue building her confidence. Although it took her a few days to settle in, Willow now lives peacefully with seven other dogs of all ages in her foster home. She walks beautifully on leash, does well meeting people and dogs while out, rides nicely in the car, and is fully housetrained with no accidents. She also settles quietly in her crate at night and while her foster is away at work. Willow would do best in a calm, laid-back home either as an only dog or with another gentle, easygoing companion. She's a truly special little girl who is ready to leave her past behind and finally enjoy the safe, loving forever home she deserves.
