Meet Willow Tree 🌿
Some puppies follow the crowd.
Willow would rather start the party.
 
Born in May 2026, Willow is part of the Tree Litter, who came to NTASR when she and her siblings were just 3 days old after being born at the Collin County shelter to their mom, Olive. She's grown up surrounded by love, and now she's ready to branch out and find a family of her own.
 
Willow is that girl.
 
Confident. Curious. Clever. Entirely convinced that whatever you're doing would be more fun if everyone joined in.
 
She's wonderfully independent and perfectly content entertaining herself... until she decides it's time to play. Then suddenly she's sprinting through the house, tossing toys in the air, and campaigning for every dog within a five-mile radius to participate in her very important zoomie agenda.
 
And if they don't notice?
 
Don't worry. She'll let them know.
 
Willow is delightfully talkative and has absolutely zero hesitation about announcing when she's ready to play. New friend? Bark. Sibling? Bark. Suspicious leaf blowing across the yard? Believe it or not... bark.
 
Communication is important.
 
One of her greatest passions in life is water. Kiddie pool? Puddle? Splashing in the water bowl she was just supposed to drink from? She's all in. If it involves getting her little feet wet, Willow considers it a five-star activity.
She also came with the cutest little naturally short tail, and somehow it still manages to wag with her entire body. When she's excited, she's basically one giant happy wiggle.
 
She's making great progress with puppy pad training, loves learning new things, and has the confidence to tackle whatever comes next.
