About Windy

Meet Windy, an adorable 5-month-old pup weighing in at 65 lbs, already on her way to becoming a gentle giant! Having not been socialized before arriving at the shelter, she finds new people, places, and situations a bit overwhelming. Windy is trying her best to brave the world, but she will need more time and patience than your average puppy to adjust. She’s never walked on a leash, so her future owner should be patient, allowing her to explore life at her own pace. Attending puppy classes and working with a positive reinforcement trainer will be beneficial for her confidence and manners, especially given her size. Windy would thrive with a friendly, confident adult dog in the home to help her learn how to dog. Canine meet-and-greets are necessary to ensure a good fit! If you're ready to give this big girl the gentle guidance she craves, visit the shelter to meet Windy today! Click apply to start the adoption process.
