About Winnie

Meet Winnie! This lovely three-year-old poodle mix has a heart full of love to give. After a tough start to life, she has developed into a happy and gentle pup. Her favorite activities include being close to her humans, soaking up all the pets and snuggles she can get. At approximately 50 lbs, Winnie is a large girl who truly thrives on affection. Winnie enjoys the company of other dogs and kids, making her a great family companion. She’s excellent on a leash during walks and is getting the hang of house training. Although she's working on it, she uses potty pads indoors quite well. Crate training has gone smoothly; she stays quiet in her crate but prefers curling up on a warm dog bed beside her favorite person. Her playful side is gradually emerging as she discovers the joy of toys. Winnie can be a bit startled by loud noises but quickly adapts and shows her sweet nature. You’ll rarely hear her bark. Winnie deserves a forever home where she can feel safe and cherished. Adopting her means opening your heart to an incredibly wonderful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
