Meet Winnie - The Ultimate Body Warmer!

Do you have a cold lap? Drafty couch? Winter is coming and Winnie is here to solve ALL your problems. She is officially the best body warmer ever made, 100% natural and powered by cuddles.

Winnie is a playful, silly, certified people-dog. Her perfect day is simple: zoom around her foster home's fenced-in yard at 100 mph, then crash onto the couch for a marathon cuddle session with her person, then gnaw happily on her favorite Nylabone. Repeat.

This girl is loyal to the core and wants YOU all to herself. Winnie has big alpha-dog energy and would do best as the one-and-only queen of the castle, or with a very submissive, chill dog friend who doesn't mind letting her be the boss. She prefers not to share her person or her toys — because when you love as hard as Winnie does, sharing is overrated.

If you're looking for a funny, affectionate, playful shadow who will keep you warm, keep you laughing, and keep you loved, Winnie is your girl.

Ready to be Winnie's one and only?
