Labrador Retriever and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Waxhaw, North Carolina

Meet Winnie! Winnie is the total puppy package — smart, silly, curious, and overflowing with love. Born around 1/10/26, this sweet Lab/Hound mix (or at least that’s our best guess!) is expected to be around 45 pounds full grown and is already proving she’s going to make an amazing companion. Winnie loves absolutely everything about being a puppy. Her favorite place is the backyard where she can sniff all the sniffs, hunt for the perfect stick, chase her doggy friends around the yard, or simply stretch out in the sunshine for a good sunbath. She’s wonderful with other dogs and rides great in the car, making her the perfect adventure buddy. This clever girl is also very treat motivated, which has made her crate training and house training off to a fantastic start. In Winnie’s opinion, snacks make learning fun — and she is fully onboard with that arrangement! Winnie is looking for a family ready for all the joy, laughter, cuddles, and puppy antics that come with raising a best friend. With her loving personality and happy spirit, she’s sure to steal hearts. To apply for Winnie, please email adopt@carolinapaws.com.
