My story

Winter is a fun loving snuggle bug. Life was a little sad starting out, being bred over & over. When she first arrived, out poor girl searched for weeks, looking for her babies. After we got her a heartbeat baby she finally found what she was searching for. By the time Winter completed her medical, she no longer needed/used her heartbeat baby and blossomed into a happy girl. Winter loves being with her people and will be your shadow in hopes for a quick hug or scratches. She is crate trained, potty trained, has great leash manners and is eager to please. Because of the breeding style she endured, Winter isn't very trusting of other dogs so would prefer to be queen of her castle. She has gone through training and is now trusting humans to keep her safe, so she is non reactive to dogs unless they charge her face....but what dog wouldn't be? Winter is a stunning pup. By day she is a couch cushion & mattress checker, her job is super important. Winter checks all soft services for comfort and nesting possibilities. By evening she is a fun girl, always happy to have her humans home. She is up for walks, playing or a quiet night snuggling, she is just happy to be with her human. Beauty, brains and so much love....a perfect package ❤️ If you are interested in Winter please email us for an application (please email, our website app has a broken link)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Winter, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
