Meet Willow the sweet dog waiting for a new home

Willow, a 3-year-old female American Staffordshire terrier mix with a gentle nature and playful side, is available for adoption at the Taunton Animal Shelter. Willow is described as sweet, calm and loving, according to a community announcement. She enjoys spending quiet time relaxing but also has a silly side and likes to play. She also enjoys walks and could be a good companion for neighborhood strolls and other outdoor activities. Willow appears to like meeting people and may be suited to a home with older children, according to the announcement. It is not yet known how Willow would do with cats or other dogs. People who already have a dog can arrange a meet-and-greet with Willow. Willow also enjoys playing in the shelter's play yard. A fenced yard at her future home would be a plus, according to the announcement. How to meet Willow Appointments are recommended for people interested in meeting animals at the Taunton Animal Shelter. Available animals can be viewed at https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/ma/taunton/taunton-animal-shelter-ma72 . The Taunton Animal Care Facility, 821 W.
