Meet Winnie!

2 years old • 27 lbs • Mixed Breed • Sweet • Sensitive • Silly

Winnie is a diamond in the rough with so much love (and personality!) to offer the right home. This petite girl has gone from 20 lbs to a healthy 27 lbs and is thriving in her foster home.

Winnie is an energetic, curious pup who loves watching—and chasing—woodland creatures and birds. If she hears critters outside, she’ll let you know by hopping to the window with great enthusiasm. Because of this strong prey drive, a home without cats is a must, as she’s shown too much interest in trying to chase and potentially harm them.

Despite her adventurous streak, Winnie is also an affectionate cuddler who adores her people. She greets her foster and her adult children with pure joy every time they walk into the room. She also plays beautifully with the resident dog until they’re both happily worn out.

Winnie is still working on her confidence. She may bark when her foster leaves the room and can be fearful with some strangers. She was very anxious at the vet and is currently taking trazodone to help with those stressful moments. With patient guidance and reassurance, she’ll continue to blossom—she truly wants to be brave.

What Winnie Does Well    •    Potty trained — does great going outside    •    Sleeps quietly in her kennel all night    •    Loves other playful dogs    •    Affectionate and loyal    •    Eager to bond with her people

Quirks to Know    •    Has a strong prey drive (no cats or small animals)    •    May bark or scratch in the kennel early in the morning if she hears activity    •    Barks when her person leaves the room    •    Still learning confidence with unfamiliar people    

Winnie is looking for an adopter who understands that she’s still learning the world can be a safe place. With love, structure, and patience, she’ll shine into the incredible dog she’s meant to be.

If you’re ready for a loyal, cuddly, playful companion who just needs a little polishing, Winnie might be your perfect match.
