About Winnie

Meet Winnie, a playful and cheerful young Dachshund who loves to have a good time. At just 1 year old and weighing around 15-20 pounds, she enjoys playing with toys and having fun with her Chihuahua sister. Winnie is spayed, healthy, and up to date with her vaccinations. She's leash trained, piddle-pad trained, and knows basic commands. Winnie thrives around adults and children, and she gets along well with small dogs. However, she's a bit reactive towards unfamiliar people and dogs when out on walks, so she'd benefit from a patient adopter who can continue her training. Since she might chase after cats, a cat-free home is best for her. This little girl loves basking in the sunshine and playing outdoors, so a secure, fenced yard is essential. Winnie is looking for a family who can give her the attention and companionship she craves! Please consider adopting Winnie and giving her the forever home she deserves. What are you waiting for?
