Introducing Winny , our incredibly sweet and gentle 7-year-old Coonhound lady! At 97 lbs, Winny is a big girl with an even bigger heart, ready to find her forever couch. Winny is the epitome of a homebody. She absolutely adores people and just wants to relax by your side, whether it's cuddling on the couch or enjoying slow, leisurely walks. This gentle soul is a big foodie, and a regular routine, along with a weight loss plan, will help her feel her best and put a spring in her step! Initially a little shy, Winny quickly blossoms with love and patience. She thrives on human connection and yearns to bond, promising to be the most loyal companion. While she has some sweet anxiety, it's easily overcome with affection, routine, and possibly some anti-anxiety meds, as recommended by her vet. She's a pro at being housebroken and has impeccable manners indoors. Winny is too playful for cats (they wouldn't appreciate her enthusiastic "fun"), but she's not a hunter. She loves a good squeaky toy shake but might plant herself if she's not keen on an activity – nothing a little coaxing and a tasty treat can't fix! Take a look at the side eyes we got when videoing sweet Winny with her squeaky toy! :) Winny truly deserves a comfortable, happy, and relaxed life filled with love. Could your home be the soft landing this deserving girl dreams of? She's ready to be your best friend! Winnie is from a local impound.

More about this rescue
Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.
Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.
Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.
If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
