Meet Winnie

Meet Winnie, a little girl with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart! Winnie is an 9- month old Cocker Spaniel who may take a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe, she has nothing but love to give. She can get nervous around too many people and may bark when she feels scared, so she needs slow introductions and a family who will respect her boundaries and let her build confidence at her own pace. Winnie is a super smart, high energy girl who LOVES her toys, treats, and learning new things! She already knows sit, down, and stay, and she is learning to use dog puzzles to keep her clever little brain busy. Her zoomies are the cutest, and this girl is FAST! She also LOVES the water. Looking for an adventure buddy? She’s your girl! Want a couch cuddle bug after a long day? She can be that too! Winnie absolutely loves other dogs and does amazing with her foster brothers, but be prepared because this girl plays ROUGH! We are talking full body slams, wrestling, and nonstop fun. She needs another playful, energetic dog who can match her play style, so a senior dog or a pup who prefers a calmer lifestyle would not be the right fit. A dog sibling that matches her energetic play style is a must for her forever home. Because Winnie is still learning to manage her excitement and can be uncomfortable when people get too close, she needs a home without young children. She is fully crate trained and is still working on her potty training. She learns incredibly quickly, but continued training is important for her success. Her adopter will be required to attend a training class in Orlando with her current trainer and continue practicing the training techniques at home. This girl needs room to run and play, so a house with a securely fenced backyard is a must. Apartment living would not be a good fit for her. She is also quite vocal, so her family should be ready for her to share her opinions! Winnie LOVES car rides, but unfortunately, she gets extremely carsick and vomits. Also her gorgeous, long coat requires daily brushing and regular professional grooming. Winnie is looking for a family who will embrace her goofy personality, keep her active, continue her training, and give her the time she needs to feel safe. In return, you’ll get a loving, playful, water loving girl who will keep you laughing, moving and cuddling for years to come.
