If you’re looking for a dog who loves the attention as much as she loves her sleep, look no further! Winnie is a sweet and sassy who won’t leave your side whether she’s snoozing on her dog bed while you’re working in the office or sinking into a deep-seated couch while you’re having a movie night.
Winnie is not a fan of leashes just yet, but we’ve been working on that. It’ll take time for her to walk outside on her on in a new setting. Currently, at a home without a fence, but would do better within fence boundaries so long as there isn’t snow. Not a fan. Therefore, potty training is still in the works. Conquered walking down steps and can jump on and off couches, just needs assistance walking up stairs or being carried up the steps.
No issues with the 3 cats she’s been fostered with nor other dogs she’s been introduced to. Not as interested in playing with them unless they’re a bulldog. If there’s another bulldog around, game on! She loves to play with them. Barks are rare but begging is not. Loves being rewarded for treats and SHE KNOWS when there’s food or treats nearby. Rather than sitting normally, she’ll stand on her back legs, crawl on you if needed or lick you until she realizes that you are not the food. Drop something or loud sounds? She runs. And when she runs, she’ll do a quick head tilt, turnaround and trot off running into everything. She’s not so aware of her surroundings at that point. Now, let’s talk about her strut. She loves to explore, runs on an angle with tongue sticking out, and will never be able to sneak up on you.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
