It's nice to meet you!
Dana Buglak
Director/Founder
At Woof & Willow Co., I am dedicated to keeping dogs off of the streets out of shelters, and in safe and loving homes. After fostering and volunteering on the sidelines with rescues, I decided to take the next step and start my organization. My heart is still dedicated to assisting as many local rescues and shelters as I can, as many are overcrowded, understaffed, and underfunded.
All breeds are different and have different needs. I advise anyone interested in bringing a furry friend into their life to consider their own activity level, work schedule, financial needs, and more. Today, owning and raising a dog is a luxury; it's essential to understand that it's a lifetime commitment. I have studied and worked with dogs for over ten years, and I am committed to learning more every day.

Volunteer / Foster / Outreach
I'm a stay-at-home mom to two energetic boys, constantly embracing the joys and challenges that each day brings. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, indulging in crafts, and fostering adorable dogs in need.
I have helped foster with many rescues before but am super thrilled to continue my journey with Woof & Willow, where our shared love and compassion for helping these animals thrives.
Leslye Barringer-wise
Volunteer / Foster / Fundraising
I work for a law enforcement agency during the day, but my free time is usually spent fostering puppies or finding other ways to support rescues and homeless dogs. I love helping however I can, whether that means opening my home to puppies or supporting in other meaningful ways. I enjoy assisting puppies to feel safe, confident, and loved as they learn what it means to be part of a family, and I’m grateful to be part of a rescue community that gives every dog a brighter future.
"To my dog, I will endure a lifetime of missing you for the privilege of loving you for all of yours"
Atlas
Co-Founder
Professional cuddler, great in front of the camera, slight drama queen, cheese lover, empath, over all 10/10 a good boy.
Atlas is the reason Woof and Willow is here today, the first dog tag was made for him and the photo of him wearing it attracted many (can you blame them, look at that face). He remains an inspiration to this day, waking up every morning and lifting the moods of those around him. He's the backbone of this little small business. Atlas loves to show our foster dogs how to sit, wait, lay down, play fetch and more.
Astra
Co-Founder
A free spirit, natural leader, eager to learn and wild child, Astra joined the team at just 6 weeks old. She showed signs of leadership (and sass) right away.
Astra keeps us on our toes, she knows that time is money, and you'll never catch her sleeping on the job. Multitasking? She's your girl. Astra could play forever, especially with our foster puppies, she has a mothers love inside of her that is caring a kind. Astra is best at teaching young puppies how to play with other dogs. While never a mom herself, Astra takes on the role of a mother to orphan new born puppies and is a true hero.
