• “Willa is a five-year-old boxer-mix and is super sweet! She absolutely adores people. She can be a little unsure around new dogs but eventually warms up to them.“

  — Laura P.

• “Hi! Willa is a super sweet dog and her favorite toys are tug toys and bones to chew on. She loves to play outside - with supervision of course - and we recently learned that also loves to swim! But, Willa is reactive towards other dogs, so she needs some personal space to play.“

  — Shrikar N.

• “Hi, I'm Willa! I am tiny but full of energy. I enjoy nosework, learning new tricks, and running around like a maniac. My parents like to get me sniff spots to help with my separation anxiety; it helps tire me out! I can be timid at times and outgoing other times, so I really appreciate a private yard to romp around in.“

  — Kristen E.

• “Mini aussiedoodle, very sweet and gentle. We just got her and she is a little scared of Otis but we are working on that. We’ve only had her for 5 days. Not fixed but we are getting her spayed the end of May“

  — Laurie B.

• “I am an 8 year old German Shepherd. I am sweet, but can be anxious and leash reactive. I especially don’t like thunder or fireworks. I go to daycare once a week and thrive in that environment often receiving glowing comments on my good behavior and disposition.“

  — Ron G.

• “I mostly just love my momma and my big sister, but I'm pretty easy-going with the rest of the world also.“

  — Anneli F.

• “I’m calming down now but I still LOVE to run and play and chase balls.“

  — Jenna S.

• “I'm still a "baby" and like to take my big sister's lead, and always checking back with mom for approval (and a treat). I love running and chasing toys and exploring new spaces.“

  — Shannon B.

• “Willa is an Aquarius like her mama. She is the most gentle dog I have ever met, and will take all of the pets she can get. Willa would love to play or frolick along with any dog as long as they are also friendly.“

  — Taylor H.

• “I love looking outside, going outside, and running and exploring outside! I am very sweet to people I know but can be nervous around people I don’t. But you should see my squirrel dance, it would win awards!“

  — Karel C.

• “Willa was adopted in May 2024 (foster fail!). She is an almost 2 year old Great Dane and was not treated well or socialized as a puppy. She is a reactive dog and gets nervous when strangers (especially men) approach her. We’ve been working on it and she’s already come a long way. She loves other dogs but can also have some barrier and leash reactivity.“

  — Cameron D.

• “Willa is a 4-5 year old ACD/Husky mix I adopted about 4 years ago. She is a ball of anxiety/energy, and LOVES to lick people (despite years of trying to discourage the behavior). She loves bossing her brother around, and being chased. She will also wrestle with Kevin even though she is half his size. I“

  — Lauren E.

• “A year old border collie who has the personality of a comedian squished into a 35 pound body. She’s brave when it comes down to doing athletic things, like scaling rocks and catching frisbees. Ask her to meet a stranger and she might fumble.“

  — Kyla R.

• “I am very sweet and gentle, but I have a lot of anxiety so I tend to be pretty tentative in new situations. I love meeting new people, though! I prefer no sudden movements, and for others to approach me from the front.“

  — Sarah J.

• “An energetic, goofy girl who has never met a stranger. She loves people and other dogs.“

  — Brooklyn K.
