About Winnie

Winnie ended up at the shelter after her previous owner realized they didn't have enough time to care for her. She had a brief stay with another family, but now she's back, watching for someone who can stick with her for good. Winnie gets nervous in new situations and needs a patient, confident adopter willing to help her settle in. Once she feels safe, she opens up—there’s a gentle, loving side waiting to come out. She enjoys play and shares her affection freely with people who earn her trust. Winnie is looking for a home ready to invest time and understanding into helping her adjust. She gets along well with most dogs and does well with older children, but isn’t suited for a home with cats. If you have a calm, steady household and want to help a dog blossom, Winnie could be the one for you. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
