My story

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

Hi, I’m Winnie.



My life hasn’t always been easy, but I’m still here… and I’m hoping my forever family is out there.



Before I came to AHOTO, I was used for breeding and then dumped when I was no longer wanted. When I first arrived, I was scared and unsure about the world around me. Kind people helped me heal and slowly showed me that life could be different. With patience and care, I started to feel safe.



Not long after that, I was adopted. Everyone hoped I had finally found my happy ending. But just one month later, while staying with a dog sitter, I got scared and escaped.



For 10 long weeks, I was out on my own. I crossed big roads, survived freezing temperatures, and stayed hidden because I was too scared to let people get close. Lots of people searched for me and never gave up.



In the end, it was another dog who helped save me. Her name is Phoebe, and she came from the very same breeding facility as me. Being near her made me feel safe and because of Phoebe, I finally let the rescuers bring me to safety.



Phoebe has now found her forever home… and now it’s my turn.



I’m an incredibly sweet and gentle girl! The thing that helps me most in the world is other dogs. I look to them for confidence, comfort, and guidance. Having a calm and confident dog friend helps me understand that everything is okay.



Because of everything I’ve been through, I’m looking for a very special home where I can continue to feel safe and loved.



My perfect home would have:



At least one confident, friendly dog to be my buddy and help guide me



Very dog-savvy humans who understand shy or sensitive dogs



A quiet, calm household with a steady routine



No young children because I’m scared of little kids



People who will take all necessary precautions so that I am never lost again.



A big backyard with a tall and secure fence would be a bonus



I’ve been through a lot in my life, but I still have so much love to give. With the right family, I know I can keep growing braver every day.



If you have a calm home, a kind heart, and a dog who could be my best friend, I would love to meet you.



Maybe my forever story starts with you.
