Meet Willow Willow is a beautiful girl whose story is heartbreaking, but we hope her future will be filled with nothing but love. Willow was found alongside Winston and Wesley, the three of them abandoned together in a carrier outside during a Nor’easter in New York. While the storm raged around them, these innocent dogs were left outside to face the freezing weather with nowhere safe to go and no one there to protect them. When they were finally found, Willow was in terrible condition. Her hair was severely matted, she was suffering from skin infections, and she had maggots. She had clearly been neglected for far too long, and we can only imagine how uncomfortable and frightened she must have been. Yet Willow survived. She made it through that terrible ordeal, and now we have the opportunity to give her the life she should have had from the beginning. Willow deserves to forget what it felt like to be cold, scared, and forgotten. She deserves a warm bed, gentle hands, and a family who will see her for the beautiful girl she is. Her past was not her fault, and it does not have to define her future. Please consider opening your heart and home to Willow. She has already survived the storm. Now she deserves a life filled with warmth, security, and unconditional love. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Willow and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
She deserves a warm bed, gentle hands, and a family who will see her for the beautiful girl she is. Confident and lively, with more terrier boldness than their size suggests.
🎾 Exercise
Low to moderate — short walks plus play.
✂️ Grooming
High if kept long; much easier in a short cut. Dental care matters.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Very apartment-friendly. Barking at hallway noise is the common complaint.
