Winnie Wonder and Whimsy

If you are not looking to adopt a dog right now, please be advised that you should stop reading now, or Winnie Whimsy will have you reconsidering your stance on that. This girl will ruin your ability to be objective, and before you know it, you will catch yourself wondering how complicated it would really be to bring home just one more. She is scruffy perfection wrapped up in a permanently happy little package, with bright, sparkling eyes that seem to find something wonderful about absolutely everyone she meets. Playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being demanding, and endlessly entertaining, Winnie has a remarkable talent for making an ordinary afternoon feel like the rest of the world is nothing in comparison.

Winnie is estimated to be around 1 year old and weighs 12 pounds. She appears to be a Terrier mix, though as with all rescue dogs, her breed and age are simply our best educated guess. Winnie is currently thriving in a loving foster home where she has earned glowing reviews from everyone around her. She is both house and crate trained, perfectly food motivated, and approaches learning with the kind of enthusiasm that makes training feel less like work and more like a game. We are convinced she could learn an entire repertoire of circus tricks with a bag of treats and one open afternoon. She loves making her people laugh and seems genuinely delighted anytime she gets to figure something new out. She is also wonderfully social. Winnie lives happily alongside a cat and regularly helps host doggies in her home as an assistant to an in-home dog-sitter. She doesn't simply tolerate cats, she respects and delights in them as companions. She genuinely and truly enjoys them! She would likely be thrilled to share her future home with another playful dog, a confident cat, or both.

Ideal Home

Winnie's ideal family is simply one that enjoys life. A family who likes tossing a toy in the backyard, laughing at goofy moments, teaching fun tricks, heading out on adventures, and ending the day together on the couch. Winnie has plenty of playful energy, but she's equally talented at curling up beside you once the excitement settles down. Belly rubs are enthusiastically accepted!

Ongoing Health

Winnie is up-to-date on all age-appropriate vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. She has been spayed and microchipped.

Winnie is house and crate trained and is highly food motivated, making her eager to learn. She enjoys training sessions and figuring out new things.
