Story
My name is Winnie and I am not sure of my age.  I am not a puppy or a senior dog.  I was taken to a local shelter after someone saw a car in front of them toss me out the window.  It was late at night but the good samaritian got out to get me off the side the road.  Then contacted the shelter.  When I was thrown out the window,  I had long matted hair.  I was a bit skinny as well.  So everyone realized that I was not well cared for.  The shelter waited for my previous family to come forward to reclaim me.  But lucky for me they did not. I was put out to rescues due to me being afraid.  I growled and tried to bite because I was extremely confused and scared.  The shelter can be a noisy place which did not help me relax either.  Once in rescue it was quieter and I was allowed to relax.  I was given time to become more comfortable.  So I am slowly coming out of my shell. I walk great on a leash and have more confidence on the leash than off.  I am allowing humans to pet me although I am still a bit timid.  Currently I am not spayed.  I have a mammary tumor that the vet thinks was infected.  So I am on antibiotics.  Once that is clear, I will have the tumor removed and will be spayed at the same time.  The foster home has noticed that I am a bit reactive around my left leg but when I go back to the vet that will be looked at. I am looking for a quiet home where I will be given time to learn to trust again.  I am not looking for an active home and preferably one with older children if there are kids.  I am learning to relax while I am held.  Being held is nice but I will not be asking to be held all the time.  I have been able to explore the fenced in yard at the foster home without someone walking me on the leash but I am not playing or running.  Smelling and walking are my speed.  Then I come to the closest human and sit by them to watch the world pass.  I am fine with small dogs as long as they are nice to me. I hope someone who will help me learn to trust again will find room in their heart and home for me.
