fectionate, playful, energetic, and happiest when she’s right beside her people. From the moment she arrived in her foster home, Winnie was ready for snuggles, kisses, and playtime!
Winnie is a professional cuddler who loves soaking up affection and being part of whatever her humans are doing. She gets especially excited to wake up with her people in the morning and will happily cover them in kisses. She also loves playing with her resident dog friend, chewing on her stuffies and bully sticks, and finding a good stick or toy in the backyard so she can convince you to chase her.
Winnie has plenty of energy and would love a family who can give her regular exercise and playtime, but she also has a wonderful ability to settle down and be a snuggly companion. She would especially enjoy a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and burn off some of that puppy energy. Because she is a bit of a flight risk and loves to RUN, a fenced yard is important for keeping this speedy girl safe.
Winnie is doing well with house training and does a great job pottying outside, although she may still have an occasional overnight accident as she continues to learn. She is spayed and sleeps and settles very nicely in her crate overnight. Her biggest challenge is being left alone in her crate while her humans are away. Winnie experiences separation anxiety and can bark continuously when left alone, so she would do best in a home where someone is around often, such as a work-from-home household. For this reason, a home with shared walls would not be the best fit for her.
More than anything, Winnie is a deeply loving, people-oriented girl who forms strong bonds with her humans. She wants to be included, loved, and part of the family. In return, she promises plenty of cuddles, morning kisses, goofy games, and a whole lot of love.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily follow you around, snuggle up beside you, and make you laugh every day, Winnie might just be your girl.
