Winnie - Husky and German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Shelby, Michigan

Winnie: Professional Love Bug, Part-Time Herding Supervisor

Meet **Winnie**, a 2-year-old Husky/GSD mix who has two speeds: **LOVE YOU** and **PLEASE LET ME HERD THAT.**

This gorgeous girl is an absolute **LOVE BUG**. She is incredibly sweet, craves attention, and once she decides you're her person, congratulations... you've been adopted.

Winnie is okay with other dogs, but she does have a little herding obsession. She seems to prefer calmer dogs who don't turn every day into a canine episode of *WWE*. Puppies? Well... let's just say they are **not her favorite coworkers.**

She's a little shy when she first meets you, especially with men, but give her a little time and she warms up quickly. She is **not aggressive**, just a girl who likes to take a minute to decide if you're trustworthy.

Because she's on the shy side, **older kids may be the best fit** for her.

Cats? We're not completely sure yet, but we have a feeling Winnie might be able to coexist with a confident cat who isn't easily impressed by a 75-pound-ish furry hall monitor.

Winnie is looking for a home where she can get lots of love, attention, patience, and maybe a few opportunities to supervise everyone's whereabouts.

If you're looking for a sweet, silly, slightly bossy, **professional-grade snuggler with herding tendencies**, Winnie may be your girl.

Winnie is ready to meet her people!
