About Winonah

Winonah is a large adult dog with a strong personality. She tends to prefer homes without cats, displaying a clear preference for her canine friends instead. While she can be evaluated for compatibility with other dogs through meet-and-greets, it's always wise to approach introductions carefully. Winonah came to us heartworm positive but has received the necessary treatment and is on the path to a full recovery. She's currently on a strict regimen that includes four weeks of cage rest to ensure her heart heals without stress; she's taking things slow for now. Winonah will go home with complimentary heartworm medication, helping her stay healthy in the long run. Adopting Winonah means being patient and understanding as she acclimates to a new environment, especially given her recent medical history. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little extra love and care, Winonah could be the one for you. Let’s make her next chapter her best one yet!
