Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Willow – The Graceful Shepherd with a Heart Full of Calm
At 7 years old, Willow embodies everything we love about senior dogs — wisdom, loyalty, and quiet strength. This stunning Shepherd has a serene presence that immediately brings peace to those around her. Even when a younger, excitable dog barked and challenged her, Willow stayed composed, never raising her voice or losing her grace. That’s just who she is — steady, patient, and kind.
Willow is an exceptionally gentle, intelligent, and well-mannered girl who has clearly known love in her past. She’s the kind of dog who looks right into your soul, as if she understands every unspoken word.
Why Everyone Falls for Willow:
Super smart – She knows multiple commands and loves to please.
Leash & crate trained – Walks beautifully and settles quietly when asked.
Mild-mannered & polite – Doesn’t jump up, takes treats softly, and loves people of all ages.
Independent but affectionate – Perfectly content to enjoy a chew and relax near you.
Calm in public – Moves through stores and crowds like a true lady.
Willow gets along well with mellow, respectful dogs and appreciates slow introductions. She’s not food or toy possessive and has a naturally gentle spirit that wins hearts wherever she goes.
Special Care Needs
Willow has been diagnosed with perianal fistulas, a chronic but manageable condition that requires ongoing medication and regular care. She takes it all in stride, never complaining — she simply needs someone committed to helping her stay comfortable and happy.
Her Story
Willow came to us after the post–4th of July influx, when shelters overflowed with frightened dogs. Found in a rural facility, she was confused but calm, greeting rescuers with quiet trust and hope in her eyes. Despite the changes and challenges she’s faced, Willow continues to radiate love and patience — a true testament to her gentle heart.
Now, she’s ready for her next chapter — one filled with comfort, kindness, and belonging.
If you have a calm home and a kind heart, Willow will give you all of hers 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
