Winnie is a 3-year-old, 70-pound sweetheart with a heart as soft as her eyes. Found wandering with one of our other residents, she’s been nothing but kind and loving since the moment she arrived. Though new to the shelter life, Winnie has handled it all with grace and a wagging tail that’s starting to show more confidence each day.
She’s the type of dog who thrives on gentle affection and calm reassurance — belly rubs are her absolute favorite! While some loud noises or quick movements can still make her a little unsure, we’re watching her blossom beautifully as she learns that the world can be a safe, happy place.
Winnie is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm, so for now she’s keeping things on the calmer side. She’ll do best in a home that can provide structure, patience, and enrichment to keep her mind engaged while her body rests and heals. Once she’s fully recovered, she’ll be ready to enjoy a more active lifestyle with her forever family.
We know this gentle girl has everything it takes to become a phenomenal family companion — loyal, loving, and eager to please. With a steady routine and a kind heart to guide her, Winnie is sure to blossom into the confident, joyful dog she was always meant to be.

We are a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter comprised mostly of volunteers. We take in cats and dogs from local shelters and the public who can no longer care for their pets. Each of the volunteers at FMAR has a tremendous amount of love for animals and simply wants to do what they can to ensure that as many animals as possible find a forever home. Until then, each animal has a home at FMAR indefinitely.
