Story
Meet Winter!
Winter is a 5-year-old, 75-lb Sheepadoodle with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She is truly a gentle giant!
Her superpowers include her naturally polite manners (she often sits and offers her paw), her calm and nurturing personality, and her famously happy tail that wags so fast it could cool down an entire arena. She is exceptionally gentle with other dogs, enjoys a “motherly” role, and has recently begun running and playing in the backyard with her foster siblings.
She is still unsure about new environments and unfamiliar experiences, as she is just beginning to learn many everyday household skills. Winter can be shy and a bit skittish at first, but she continues to gain confidence with patience, reassurance, and routine.
But loves being close to her people. She often comes to sit beside you when you’re resting and happily follows you from room to room. She also finds comfort in her crate and can frequently be found resting inside with the door open or checking to make sure it’s still in place.
In terms of house training, Winter is crate trained and has had no accidents in her crate since arriving in foster care. She has had a couple of accidents in the house, both in the same spot, showing consistency and learning. She is learning to go to the back door when she needs to go outside and continues to improve with routine.
Some of her favorite things are other dogs, calm companionship, backyard time, toys, and having plenty of fresh water available. She eats very quickly and would benefit from a slow-feeder bowl, likely due to food insecurity in her past. She recently received her first professional grooming and did wonderfully, with no issues during bathing or grooming.
If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate dog who enjoys companionship and would thrive with another dog but could also be happy as the only dog in the home, Winter might be your perfect match. Winter could be the one you’ve been waiting for!
Winter is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. Her adoption fee is $450.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
