About Winnie

Winnie is a gentle and affectionate dog, perfectly suited for someone ready to invest a little time to build a strong bond. Though she takes a moment to warm up, her sweet nature shines through once you’ve won her trust. She thrives on companionship, especially with her foster mom, and enjoys following her around the house. Patience and treats are working wonders as she becomes more comfortable with her foster dad too. Winnie has also met children, including a curious 11-year-old granddaughter, and accepted her gentle pets with grace. In her foster home, Winnie gets along wonderfully with the three resident dogs. They explore the backyard together, and she shows no aggression over food. Walking on a leash is a breeze for her, and she is curious about her surroundings, pausing to investigate any new sounds. If reassured, she'll move past them easily. Winnie seems to be housebroken, keeping her space clean, and is crate trained for meals and when her foster family is out. When nighttime falls, you'll find her snuggled in the big bed alongside everyone! If you’re in search of a loving companion to enrich your life, Winnie is the perfect candidate.
