Willa (in foster)

Willa is a beautiful, roughly 4-year-old, 70 lb Lab Shepherd mix whose world has recently opened up in the best way. Formerly known as Pinky, Willa has spent time in board and train, and with structure, consistency, and space to decompress, her true personality has really come through. Willa is still figuring out how to play, and it is impossible not to smile watching her try. She has endearing, slightly chaotic pounces and “is this how this works?” moments that perfectly capture her personality. She is adventurous, enthusiastic, and clearly making up for lost time. This girl is goofy, jumpy, and mouthy when she’s excited in a very typical, puppy-like way. She may jump up and grab at drawstrings, not in a rough or aggressive way, just in an awkward, excited “I don’t know what to do with my feelings” kind of way. She is actively working on manners and impulse control and will continue to need guidance and consistency as she learns. Willa doesn’t rush into new situations. She observes first, builds confidence at her own pace, and once she feels safe, her playful side comes out in full force. She loves other dogs and truly needs a dog companion in her adoptive home. Having a confident, friendly dog around helps her feel secure and brings out her best self. Willa has so much life and joy ahead of her. The right home will get to be part of her learning, growing, and discovering just how fun the world can be. If you’re looking for a goofy, dog-loving companion with a big personality and even bigger potential, Willa may be your girl.

Ideal Home

Ongoing Health

Willa is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Willa is crate trained and house trained. She is working on manners and impulse control and will continue to need guidance and consistency as she learns. Her adopter should understand that confidence and manners are built over time.
