WINNY Australian Kelpie Mix Jerome, ID

***NEEDS FOSTER or FUREVER HOME***
Currently in Jerome boarding kennels, ID

Young ~1 year old, 37-lb WINNY gave birth to 6 pups on 1/18/24

WINNY loves men and shows them her belly after doing a wiggly butt walk up to them for attention.

WINNY loves sitting in the front fenced yard and watching the people go by. She is a good alert dog.

WINNY is good with kids (gentle mouth) and pups and is very submissive when meeting other dogs. WINNY will do better without a cat in the house.

WINNY is now housebroken and knows basic commands. She walks straight out to potty area without a leash. She will run the fence chasing cars as they drive by.

Update from recent foster home:
Yes, WINNY is energetic. Foster has been trying to train her from jumping by putting her palm low to touch for praise or treat. WINNY has been enjoying playing fetch in the backyard. She loves Squeaky toys. She throws balls up by herself to entertain herself. She is smart and very treat-motivated. She just wants to be with you. She may chew out of boredom. She knows some obedience commands, but doesn't really sit because of her leg, but because she wants to please, she lays down for you. Her belly has shrunk back nicely.

Update from a temp foster home:
"She is doing really well with my dogs. She’s demonstrated some resource guarding with food and toys but really took to correction well. Since yesterday she hasn’t snapped or growled at anyone over food or toys. She is such a smart and snuggly girl.
Today and yesterday I gave her more free reign on her own in the living room. My other fosters were napping in their crates. She did really well not getting into things around her. She stuck to chewing on things she knew were for her and didn’t go after anything else. She is an expert at holding her own with husky style play. Hahah she is so small she gets launched sometimes but she LOVES it."

We are thinking that she would do well with an EasyWalk harness that connects at her chest.

BACKGROUND: Momma WINNY was rescued in the snow just before a blizzard and ready to deliver soon. She was found with an existing broken paw that had healed. A dedicated volunteer took her from the boarding kennels where she was having contractions from all the stress to her home where WINNY gave birth a week later on 1/18/2024.
