Winnie

Meet Winnie – A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom<br/><br/>Winnie is a 3-year-old, 70-pound sweetheart with a heart as soft as her eyes. Found wandering alongside another dog, she’s been nothing but kind, gentle, and loving since the moment she arrived.<br/><br/>Since coming into our care, Winnie has continued to blossom—and even more so in her foster home. She’s currently living with one of our volunteers and has truly shown us that she is the goodest of girls. While in foster, Winnie has met men, women, and children and has done wonderfully with everyone—this girl truly does not have a stranger-danger bone in her body.<br/><br/>Winnie thrives on gentle affection and connection. Belly rubs are still her absolute favorite, and she leans into them with the sweetest, most trusting energy. While she may still have moments of uncertainty with loud noises or sudden movements, her confidence continues to grow each day as she learns the world is a safe and happy place.<br/><br/>She’s also been working hard on her training while in foster and is doing incredibly well. Winnie already knows sit, down, off, wait, and stay, and is currently working on leave it when passing distractions—and she’s picking it all up beautifully. She’s a smart, eager-to-please girl who truly wants to do right by her people.<br/><br/>Winnie is still young and does have some playful, puppy-like energy, but it’s nothing that can’t be easily redirected with positive reinforcement and a little patience. She’s the perfect mix of gentle and fun, making her a wonderful fit for a variety of homes.<br/><br/>This beautiful girl has everything it takes to be an incredible companion—loyal, loving, and ready to keep learning. With the right home, Winnie will continue to grow into the confident, joyful dog she’s meant to be.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and smart companion who will meet you with love every single day, Winnie may be your perfect match. Come meet her—you might just be the safe haven she’s been waiting for.<br/><br/><br/>If you would like to meet Winnie, please submit an application for her on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. She is spayed, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea & tick prevention.<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $250, which helps cover the cost of the medical care she has received.<br/><br/>**Please note that the breed listed for each of our dogs is a rough estimate unless DNA results are provided in their Bio. All strays have rough estimates of their age based on the condition of their teeth. Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.
