Wynona (20260928-04)
DOB: 04/20/2026 Estimated
Age: 5 months
Weight: 21-30 lbs

Spayed/Neutered: Not yet

Wynona is a gentle, affectionate puppy who would much rather be close to her people than off doing her own thing. She has a wonderfully calm nature for a puppy and is content to spend time with her humans, while still enjoying her playful side. She loves water, tennis balls and soft toys, and enjoys short bursts of puppy play before settling back down. Wynona is still learning all the important puppy basics, so her new family will need to continue working on house training, crate training and leash skills. With her sweet nature and love of people, she has all the makings of a wonderful companion.

Foster Backstory: Wynona and her littermates were found together in the middle of the road at approximately 8–9 weeks old. At such a young age, they were far too vulnerable to be navigating the world on their own. Thankfully, they were brought to safety and given the opportunity to grow up knowing kindness and security. Wynona is now ready to leave that difficult beginning behind and find the family who will give her the safe, loving home she deserves. Her future is just beginning, and she is ready to fill it with companionship, playtime and lots of love.
