Winter's Story

Meet Winter! <br/><br/>Winter is a super-affectionate 1-year-old Bichon mix weighing about 12 pounds. He’s slightly underweight right now, but he’s doing well and will hopefully fill out with some good food and TLC. If you like kisses, Winter is your guy—he has plenty to give!<br/><br/>Winter is still working on his house training. He does use a pee pad, and he’s making good progress. He was recently neutered and is up to date on his shots, has been dewormed, heartworm tested, and microchipped.<br/><br/>This sweet little guy can be timid and easily frightened by loud noises or fast movements. When scared, he may panic and run, so a securely fenced yard is a must for his safety. <br/>We are also looking for a home with another canine companion. He can also be unsure of new people and will need a patient family willing to give him time to feel comfortable.<br/><br/>Winter absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys having a canine friend to play with. He does the cutest downward-dog stretch before bounding around like a little sheep! <br/><br/>Once he feels safe, Winter is a total snuggler. He loves cuddling on the couch, curling up close in bed, and being right beside his people. And did we mention the kisses? Be prepared for lots and lots of them! <br/><br/>Because of his timid nature and tendency to panic when frightened, we feel Winter would do best in a calm home with another small, friendly dog, a securely fenced yard, and no young children. He needs someone patient who will help him build confidence while enjoying all the love this sweet boy has to offer.<br/><br/>Winter is looking for a safe, loving home where he can continue to gain confidence and blossom into the happy little guy we know he can be.<br/><br/>Adoption $500<br/><br/><br/>All UnderDogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm checked, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. For consideration for one or more dogs, we require that an on-line application is filled out. <br/><br/>TO ADOPT THIS DOG PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AT https://underdogrescueofflorida.com/. Look<br/><br/>Sorry, we do not adopt outside of Florida. Applicants are subject to a home visit, and veterinary references will be checked. Please include a vet reference (including phone number) when applying online.<br/><br/>Our application process:<br/>FIRST, an application must be approved for adoption from our rescue.<br/>SECOND, we determine whether the dog that has been applied for is a "good match" for the household that wants to adopt him/her. We take into consideration the dog's activity level, compatibility with other members of the household (human and other pets), etc.<br/>If your application has been approved, but the dog you applied for is no longer available, please take the time and look over our adoptable dogs again.
