Are you ready to fall in love? Then let us introduce you to Winnie, who is the total package of beauty, brains, and a whole lot of heart! Winnie is estimated to be a 10-to-11 month old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix with a stunning red-and-white coat (and some sun bleaching in patches) and a full tail to match her big, warm personality. She weighs 41 pounds, which is a little on the lean side for this active young girl. Winnie is already housebroken, crate trained, and she is picking up her basic obedience commands incredibly fast—she is such a smart little cookie! She walks nicely on leash and rides quietly in the car. Winnie LOVES people and she LOVES other dogs—no shyness here! Winnie has that perfect medium energy level: she’ll happily play in the yard with toys, other dogs, or her humans, then easily transitions into full-on cuddle mode as an oversized lap dog. Winnie will thrive in a home with an active family who will continue her training and maybe even introduce her to new fun activities or dog sports. A fenced yard and a playful dog friend are important, and because of her energy and enthusiasm, a home with kids over 10 is recommended. Winnie has not been exposed to cats. Winnie is ready to grow up with a family who will love her, challenge her, and let her shine. Winnie is fostered near the Raleigh/Durham area in North Carolina. Ready for love?
