About Willow

Meet Willow, a sweet and playful girl eager to find her forever home. Currently fostered in Alabama, she can travel to approved adopters in NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA, and NC. Willow is around 2 to 3 years old and weighs 45 pounds. She has one of the warmest personalities you'll ever find! Affectionate and playful, she thrives on attention and is ready for a family to call her own. Her journey began on a challenging note. Abandoned in Alabama, she was severely matted and underweight, suffering from a painful skin infection. Fortunately, a caring man named Stacey rescured her, providing the love and care she desperately needed. Today, Willow is a whole new dog! Healthy, happy, and at an ideal weight, her skin has healed, and her vibrant personality shines even brighter. She’s great with other dogs and currently shares her foster home with two cats. Given her playful nature, dog-savvy cats would be the best fit. Willow craves a family that will include her in daily life, share in her joy, and shower her with affection. She brings an enchanting mix of sweetness and fun, with plenty of love to give. After her second chance, she’s ready to find that special family who will cherish her forever. If you’re in search of a joyful and devoted companion, Willow could be just who you've been waiting for!
