Looking for foster care
About Willow
Is Willow the one for your family?
Willow is a beautiful seventeen month old German Shepherd looking for a patient and loving family to help her blossom into the wonderful companion we know she can be.
Having spent her time at a shelter alongside her mum, Willow is about to begin a brand-new chapter in her life. As a result, she may be a little nervous of some people when first settling into her new home and will need a family that understands the importance of giving her time, reassurance, and support as she adjusts to unfamiliar surroundings.
Willow would greatly benefit from ongoing socialisation and training to help build her confidence and teach her all the skills needed to become a well-rounded adult dog. German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and eager to learn, and Willow will thrive with owners who are committed to spending quality time bonding with her through positive training, daily walks, and fun enrichment activities.
Her ideal home would be one where she is welcomed as a true member of the family, with access to both a secure backyard for exercise and indoor living where she can spend time with her new family. Building a strong bond will be very important for Willow as she learns to navigate her new world.
With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, Willow has all the potential to grow into a devoted and loyal companion. If you are looking for a young dog to guide, train, and share life's adventures with, Willow may be the perfect addition to your family.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or another large breed, understand their needs and believe you have the time, experience and commitment to give Indi the wonderful home she deserves, we would love to hear from you.
Willow is currently available for adoption in NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making her a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet her. Should she, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing her back to Sydney or helping us rehome him from your home.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the commitment to give her a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Willow" and we will send you an application form or go to our website and complete the application form.

We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
