About Winnie

Winnie has the look of a cuddly stuffed animal and the gentle nature to match. She's a one-year-old, cream-colored Chow Chow with a storybook coat and a mellow, easygoing temperament. After losing her previous owner, she's been adjusting in foster care and her foster family can't say enough good things about her. Winnie is house trained and doesn't need crating, and the best part is how well she gets along with other dogs—she would likely enjoy a companion, but it's not required. Winnie's calm energy makes her an easy addition to most homes. She's affectionate and loves to snuggle, yet not overly demanding of attention or activity. When meeting new people, Winnie is friendly and relaxed. A home with adults or older kids would suit her best, as she prefers not to have her plush fur tugged on by little hands. She hasn't had close encounters with cats, but has seen them from a distance without any reaction, so a slow introduction could work well. Once fully grown and "fluffed out," she should weigh somewhere between 55 to 65 pounds. Winnie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and keeps current on preventatives. She’s ready for someone to fall for her loyal, affectionate personality. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
