Story
Meet Winnie!
Hello, let me introduce myself! My name is Winnie, and I'm about 12 years old, and just a little over 11 pounds. I spent my entire life in a puppy mill until the people at Albert's Dog Lounge came for me. I had never felt kind touch, or even the grass beneath my feet until then. I get to live in a house now! I have comfy beds, toys, and even a foster mom to help me learn love. I try really hard to be brave when my foster mom pets me, and I think someday I may enjoy it! Right now, sometimes I'm just too scared and run away. I'm a good little girl and do my business on potty pads, and I am well-behaved while foster mom is away at work. I'm really starting to like toys and playing with them. I also enjoy the company of other dogs and even cats. Actually, another well established, laid-back dog in my forever home may help me come out of my shell. I don't mind the cat here either! I wouldn’t do well with little kids who don't understand that I may not want to be pet, but older, calmer kids would be okay for me to live with. Since everything is new to me, I will need to have a fenced-in yard and someone who understands that I haven't ever been outside to potty, and work with me on being comfortable with things like grass, a leash, and even just being pet on a regular basis. I sure hope I get my own people to co tinue my forever journey. Who knows what the future will hold, but let's have our future be together!

Disclaimer: It is VERY difficult even for a veterinarian to tell the exact age of a dog over two years old. From one vet to another, we can get different age estimates on the same dog and they can vary by several years. We are only making an educated guess based on a few factors like teeth, fur color, and overall body condition, but for dogs who have not been given adequate vet care and food, it can be even more difficult. Every dog is an individual, and we do our very best to age appropriately but make no guarantees as to the age of any dog in our program.
