About Willow

Willow is a sweet little Maltese Shih Tzu mix, around 3 years old and weighing just 7 pounds. She came to the shelter as a stray and was quite matted, necessitating a shave, but her striking coat will return soon. This small dog is full of love and forms strong bonds with her family. Although a bit shy at first with strangers, she quickly warms up with gentle interactions. Willow has recently started playing with toys, and her playful spirit has really blossomed. She behaves well in the car and on a leash, and she's quiet, rarely barking. Willow gets along well with other dogs, though she may show a bit of jealousy when it comes to attention. Her small size and gentle demeanor make her a perfect little companion to take anywhere. She is spayed, microchipped, has all her vaccines, and is house trained.
