Winky Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Winky is currently in a Georgia kill shelter and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure his spot on the transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on Saturday, October 3rd.

A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we’re hopeful the right person is out there.

Meet Winky

Winky is a 4-month-old Lab mix who is a wonderful little puppy with a surprisingly calm and gentle personality. Winky came into the shelter as a supposed stray after reportedly staying at someone’s home for a few weeks.

Winky is your typical playful, happy puppy, but he is also very low-key for his age. He isn’t obnoxious, doesn’t bark a lot, and is not overly messy in his kennel. He already knows how to sit and is incredibly gentle when taking treats, which is pretty impressive for a puppy!

Winky is sweet, playful, and enjoys being around other dogs. He is still a puppy and will need all the usual puppy training, supervision, and patience, but he is already showing that he has a great foundation to build on.

At only 17 pounds right now, Winky is a small, compact puppy and should be a fun size for an active family. His history with cats is unknown, but he is good with kids and other dogs.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $125 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
