Story

WILLOW is a lovable fluffy girl with a big heart and an even bigger bounce. She’s a happy, playful large dog who lights up when she’s around people and dogs — she’s not shy about asking for affection! Willow will happily reach up for hugs and soak in all the love you’re willing to give. At approximately 4 years old, Willow is in that wonderful stage of life where she still enjoys playtime but also appreciates companionship and connection. She absolutely loves being with humans and dogs and does well with friendly large dogs. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, deworming, and microchip. She'll need grooming twice per year. Willow was born on one of the reservations we work with and is ready for her next chapter — one filled with stability, kindness, and plenty of hugs. We are seeking a home for Willow in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, White Rock, or Los Alamos areas. If you think Willow might be the right fit for your family, please email desertpawsnm@gmail.com to check availability and begin the application process. We would love to introduce you to this joyful girl :-)August 31, 2026, 7:22 pm
