About Winchester Puppy

Sweet Winchester Puppy, affectionately known as Winnie, is a delightful little over 3 months old and the last of her litter looking for a forever family. With her playful spirit, she brings joy to everyone around her. She's been diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur, but rest assured, an echocardiogram showed no serious underlying issues. Her veterinarian recommends a follow-up echo at 6 months to monitor her growth, and the rescue will cover this cost at their designated clinic. Winnie's fun-loving personality shines through as she enjoys spending time with other dogs and is getting acquainted with cats. While her curiosity may lead her to chase the latter, she can easily be redirected. Currently, she's in the process of housebreaking and learning crate training. As a puppy, Winnie needs a family ready to commit to patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement in her training. Scheduled to be spayed, her procedure must take place before adoption can be finalized. Winnie is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and has received flea prevention. She deserves a loving home that sees past her heart murmur and embraces her cheerful demeanor. Ready to bring this bundle of joy home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
