About Winnie

Meet Winnie, a gentle 3-year-old mixed breed with a heart full of love. Her world recently changed when her devoted owner faced homelessness and, with a heavy heart, surrendered her to ensure she could find shelter and food. Winnie is a total sweetheart, ready to share her affection with anyone willing to give her a chance. Despite the sadness of losing her home, Winnie is exceptionally dog-friendly and has harmoniously lived with pups of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bulldogs. She's polite, potty-trained, and eager to impress with her tricks—she'll shake your hand, sit on command, and stay put when asked. However, given her past, she experiences separation anxiety and needs a nurturing home where she won't be left alone for long periods. An understanding and patient adopter will help her heal and thrive. If you have the space in your heart and home for this loyal companion, Winnie is ready to give you her all.
