Willow is an adorable little, tan with black, female Shih Tzu that was rescued, along with her 4 puppies, from a puppy mill in the spring of 2016. Even though Willow’s puppies came around very quickly and turned into little social butterflies that were quickly adopted, Willow appeared to have been quite traumatized during her time in the puppy mill and is just now recovered enough that she is finally ready for adoption to a person or quiet family that has experience with dogs as she will continue to need help to fully recover from her prior experiences. Willow’s date of birth is 4/17/14 and she weighs 7-8 pounds. Willow was spayed and received a dental cleaning in August of 2017 She tested heartworm negative and has been kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention since that time to maintain her good health. Willow is up to date on vaccinations including a bordatella vaccination for kennel cough. If you would like to adopt Willow, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application.
You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home.
Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
