Willow accepts Afghan Hounds from across Ontatio and Quebec and offers foster care in the Ottawa area. We do not have a shelter building to visit. All of our dogs are in the private homes of our foster volunteers and in order to respect their time and privacy, potential families must be screened before meeting a dog. Prior to meeting a dog you must first be screened in order for us to determine if the dog is a good match for you and you are a good match for the dog.

 

All inquiries and applications should be submitted by email and will be responded to by one of our volunteers. We ask that inquiries not be made by telephone.

 

Our adult dogs and puppies over 12 months of age have all been spayed/neutered. Puppies under 12 months of age will be adopted out under a spay/neuter contract.  Willow will refund $50.00 when we receive proof of spay or neuter at age 12 months.

 

Unless you are very experienced with dogs (ie. dog trainer, Vet/ tech. etc.), we usually do not adopt out our puppies to families with children under 5.

 

Willow does not ship dogs.

 

The adoption fee for each dog is listed in their bio under the 'AVAILABLE' menu.
