My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please go to our website at www.milehighlabmission.com to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application. 

Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website.


We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. 

We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.

Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.



General Notes | Looking for a pocket sized lab with the best personality?! Willow is the cutest lab x cheweenie x golden retreiver mix whose energy and vibe is as lovely and adaptable as her namesake! Just like a graceful willow tree, she is flexible, sweet, and promises to bend with the breeze of your family life. This darling pup offers a perfect balance: she is playful and curious, yet wonderfully mellow and thrives on gentle cuddles. Willow is ready to flourish in a loving home where she can grow strong, loyal, and full of devotion right by your side.Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.  

Personality | Willow is a total pocket pal - happiest snuggled up with her people, following them around, or playing with her foster siblings! She's adaptable, go with the flow, and has the most wonderful demeanor. 

Story | Willow and her sister come from an "oopsie" litter in Houston, TX. They recently made their way to CO and are thriving in their foster homes!

Other Dogs | Willow is phenomenal with other dogs of all ages and sizes! She does well with both the big lab foster brother and the chihuahua foster brother in her home currently, and is happy to play, but also happy to be independent!

Cats | Willow would do well with kitties in her home. She is gentle, curious, and doesn't seem to have a prey drive. 

Children | Willow hasn't been tested with little little children, but does well with all people and would be great in a family with kids!

Training | In progress! Willow is crate trained, working on potty training, and learning basic obedience!

Leash | Learning day by day!

Activity Level | Moderate - your typical lab!

Health Notes | 

Thank you! | 

Adoption Donations |  Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).

Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.

Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.

 

We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!

We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
