Foster Friday Feature: Meet Willow

✨ Foster Friday Feature: Meet Willow ✨🐾Willow came to Harbor Humane as a stray back in November, and since then she has been quietly doing the hard work of healing, learning, and trusting again. Now Willow (6 years old and 73 lbs) is ready for the next chapter of her story — a forever home where she can truly settle in and shine.This sweet girl is house trained, highly food motivated, and an absolute dream on a leash. Long walks? Yes please. Car rides? She’s in. Outings with her person? That’s her happy place. Willow can be left alone for a few hours, is doing well with crate training, and is comfortable free-roaming in the home.Willow is affectionate, gentle, resilient, and eager to please. She’s what we lovingly call a “velcro dog” — she bonds deeply and prefers to keep her person all to herself. While she can coexist with other dogs in certain settings, Willow would truly thrive as the only dog in the home, where she doesn’t have to compete for attention and can relax into being someone’s one and only.She enjoys the simple joys of life: lounging on the couch, playing with squeaky toys, chewing on bones, exploring the yard, and even chasing the occasional bunny. Her foster has watched her confidence grow, her eyes brighten, and her personality come alive — especially in a calm, consistent environment.Willow is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her time to fully settle in and build a strong bond. In return, she’ll give you her whole heart.💙 If you’re searching for a loyal companion who just wants to be your dog, Willow might be the one.📍 Apply to meet Willow at www.harborhumane.org#FosterFriday #MeetWillow #AdoptDontShop #ShelterDogs #LoveIsInTheAir
