Story
Meet Winnie, a sweet 10-year-old Shepherd/Pyrenees mix weighing about 70 pounds. This gentle senior girl loves her people and her dog friends and is happiest when she has a cozy place to lounge and a yard to explore.Winnie is house-trained, well behaved, and wonderfully independent. She enjoys greeting visitors, making friends with whoever is cooking dinner, and spending time with her canine companions. She is also great with kids and has a calm, curious nature.With her livestock guardian background, Winnie would love a home with a yard where she can leisurely explore and enjoy her golden years. A fenced yard is preferred, but Winnie does not require one. Without a fence, she will need twice daily walks along with frequent daily potty breaks.Winnie has arthritis in her back and takes daily medication to help keep her comfortable. She isn't a fan of taking her meds, but her foster has discovered that hiding them in something yummy does the trick!Winnie does not need a ton of exercise and is happiest spending her days relaxing near her favorite people. She would do best in a one-level home where she can comfortably get around as she ages.Winnie is looking for a loving home where she can spend her senior years surrounded by people and animal friends. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who loves attention, cozy spots, and a little time to explore, Winnie may be your girl!If you are interested in Winnie, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $250.
