Size

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
- Prefers to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Does well on a leash - Has met several families with young children here at the shelter and has been calm and well-mannered during those interactions; may enjoy some kids to play with in his new home - Tends to be an introvert around other dogs and may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends; may not be comfortable at dog parks or at large, dog-friendly events, but may do well with like-minded dog friends (dog intro recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 27.5 Age: 10yrs 7mths 4wks

Story
My name is Winston, but I go by Winnie, too! I am a 11-year-old Bichon Frise/Rat Terrier mix. I am looking for a new home because I don’t get along well with my aggressive big brother, and my family doesn’t have the ability to give me the attention I need anymore.I am:• Lovable, cuddly, and described as having a cat-like temperament• An "old soul" who thrives in a slower-paced home with human attention• Potty trained with no known health issues besides some minor cataracts in my eyes and dental problems from my time before I was rescued• Great at traveling, good with recall, and obsessed with playing fetch• Neutered and up to date on careI get along with kids if they know how to handle me, but I need to be the only dog in my new home. I relax most of the day but still love to run in the yard, play with my toys, and bark at things that pass by the door. I’m a lovable senior pup with lots of love to give! ♥️
