About Winnie
Winnie is a one-year-old Boxer/Shepherd mix with a playful spark and a cheerful, athletic spirit. She’s the sort of dog who can turn any room or backyard into a party with her wagging tail and big personality. Winnie grew up in a home after being adopted as a puppy, but found herself back at the shelter because she just couldn't stop chasing the family’s cat. For this reason, Winnie needs a cat-free environment or an experienced owner who understands managing high prey drive around small animals. Her exuberant play style makes her a great match for active households—ideally with another playful dog for company and plenty of space for her famous zoomies. She thrives with structure: she’s already house trained, did well with crate time at night, and will adapt quickly to routines. Winnie is still figuring out the finer points of polite play (sometimes her excitement gets the best of her and she gets a little mouthy), so she’ll do best with someone ready to reinforce her foundations and keep working on basic manners. She stands out as a brindle beauty with a goofy underbite—a genuinely fun companion ready for adventures and loyal friendship. If you’re looking for an affectionate, energetic dog who keeps things lively, Winnie could be your perfect fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
