Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Willow — A Graceful Shepherd with a Calm, Steady Heart
At 7 years old, Willow represents everything people love about senior dogs: quiet confidence, loyalty, and a soothing presence. This beautiful Shepherd moves through the world with patience and dignity. Even when faced with younger, excitable dogs who bark or challenge her, Willow remains composed and unbothered. She does not react or escalate — she simply stays true to her gentle nature.
Willow is intelligent, exceptionally well-mannered, and clearly familiar with life in a loving home. She has a thoughtful way of connecting, often meeting you with calm eye contact as if she truly understands. Being around her feels peaceful.
Why People Fall in Love with Willow
Highly intelligent and eager to please; she knows multiple commands
Leash trained and crate trained; walks beautifully and settles easily
Polite and gentle; takes treats softly and does not jump
Affectionate but not demanding; content to relax nearby with a chew
Calm and confident in public settings, including stores and crowds
Willow does well with mellow, respectful dogs and appreciates slow, thoughtful introductions. She is not food- or toy-possessive and has a naturally kind disposition that wins hearts wherever she goes.
Special Care Needs
Willow has been diagnosed with perianal fistulas, a chronic but manageable condition. She requires ongoing medication and routine care to stay comfortable. She handles her care quietly and patiently and simply needs an adopter or foster committed to helping her maintain a good quality of life.
Her Story
Willow arrived during the post–Fourth of July influx, when shelters are often overwhelmed with displaced and frightened dogs. She was found at a rural facility, calm but confused, greeting rescuers with quiet trust. Despite the upheaval she has experienced, Willow continues to radiate patience, resilience, and gentle affection.
Now, Willow is ready for her next chapter — one filled with stability, kindness, and comfort. If you have a calm home and a compassionate heart, Willow will offer you steady companionship and deep loyalty in return.

We require a foster or adoption application to qualify to foster or adopt our animals. We do check your current veterinary reference and landlord approval if renting. The next step is a "meet and greet" with all family members and/or household occupants, and current pets. Upon approval, we offer a "trial adoption" period that allows adopter to make sure of a good fit for both the dog and family. Adoption is final when adoption contract (different from application) is filled out and signed, and adoption fee is paid. Our adoption fees range from $75 - $300 (puppies) currently, but are subject to revision if our veterinary costs rise. Due to recent website issues please submit application at www.friendsfureveranimalrescue.net if the .com link provided does not work
