My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Winnie 🩵

Winnie’s journey with us began when we were contacted to help with her puppies. But we could never leave a mama behind—and this sweet girl has earned her own happy ending. Her pups, Lola, Vito, and Cleo, are on their way to bringing joy to new families, and now it’s Winnie’s turn to be someone’s beloved baby.

This beautiful mama has done her job, raising her litter with love and care. She was originally rescued by a kind-hearted woman who also took in her not-by-blood but very-much-in-spirit sister, Harper—Winnie absolutely adores her.

If you know cattle dogs, you know they’re loyal to the core, and Winnie is no exception. At first, she may be a little reserved—she likes to observe and understand new people. But give her a moment, and you’ll find a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side.

Winnie is happy both with and without other dogs. She enjoys running around with her friends at the dog park but never strays far—she’ll always circle back to make sure her person is still there.

She’s house-trained, uses a doggie door, is non-destructive, and is learning how to walk on a leash. But honestly, once she bonds with you, she won’t want to wander far anyway. Winnie is great with humans of all sizes and has the kindest heart.

Now it’s her time. She deserves a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and never worry about being left behind again. We’re hoping someone sees the beautiful soul she is and gives her the forever family she’s been waiting for.
