Winnie

Meet Winnie, a tender-hearted eleven-year-old mixed-breed cuddlebug from Baltimore, MD, whose tan and white coat is just the outer wrapping on a deeply affectionate soul looking for her next big snuggle.

Winnie isn’t just sweet—she’s the kind of dog who melts into your arms, steals your pillow, and makes every day feel a little softer! At about 40 pounds, she’s a solid, medium-sized girl who carries herself with gentle grace and the occasional burst of joyful zoomies. She prefers the quiet life: cozy beds, long cuddles under blankets, and stuffed animals to snuggle like treasured friends. Winnie has a gift for making you feel like the most important person in the world—each greeting is full of genuine excitement, tail wags, and heart.

She’s spayed, vaccinated, fully house-trained and crate-trained, walking calmly morning and night and snoozing happily in between. While she can feel a little anxious if left alone, she settles well in her crate and truly thrives when she has someone nearby. She’s friendly with other dogs but would likely do best with a calm companion or as the only dog in the home—hyper pups aren’t really her crowd. She’s never been around cats, but she’s so gentle that with proper introduction, a peaceful coexistence could be possible.

Winnie is wonderful with kids—she’s been climbed on, cuddled, and adored, and she has returned that love with nothing but patience and joy! She understands simple commands like "stop," "come," "go to bed," and "paw," and while she may not have had formal obedience training, she clearly knows how to be a perfect housemate. Her health is great, though she does have a recurring ear condition known as "cauliflower ear," which may need occasional care, but doesn’t slow her down or affect her sweet demeanor.

If you’re seeking a soft-hearted companion to share your home, your heart, and your couch, Winnie may be the perfect match. She’s got a quiet magic about her—the kind that turns ordinary days into memories.

Are you ready to welcome this princess into your castle of cuddles?
