Willow Misty

Willow's story is nothing short of miraculous. Born into a family of feral dogs in rural Mississippi, her parents and grandparents had been on the radar of our southern rescue partners for over a year. Through countless prayers, sleepless nights, and unwavering determination, every member of this feral family was eventually caught, vetted, and saved by rescue. Willow's mother was the last to be caught, and after giving birth in the wild, she accepted human help, ensuring the safety and well-being of her puppies. Willow has been in rescue since she was just one week old. She has been waiting a long time and is more than ready to settle into her forever life. Despite her sweet and gentle nature, she is still waiting. Willow gets along wonderfully with very young children, cats, and other dogs she meets. She is also working on house training and will quickly adapt once she has a family of her own. Willow is the smallest and sweetest of her litter. She loves to cuddle and is incredibly gentle and patient. When her foster family comes home, while her siblings compete for attention, Willow waits quietly for her turn, looking up with gentle eyes and wagging her whole body in excitement when noticed. Willow adores playing with puppy toys and has a special love for water. Her favorite place on a hot summer day is her puppy pool. She also enjoys walking on a leash and opens up more when she's away from the litter. Willow is very gentle with cats, puppies, and children, making her an excellent companion for families of all kinds. Willow is a loving and gentle soul waiting to bring joy and affection into your home. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and gentle companion who loves to cuddle and enjoys playtime and walks, Willow is the perfect match for you.
