If you’ve been searching for the perfect little shadow to follow you from room to room… Winnie just might be your girl. 💛 At 19 pounds, she’s the just right size — small enough to scoop up for couch cuddles, but sturdy enough to join you on walks and adventures. Winnie is medium energy with a delightfully low-maintenance vibe. She’s happiest chewing on her beloved stuffies, gently tugging a rope toy, or leaning into you for snuggles (and yes — she really leans in). Winnie walks beautifully on leash, taking in all the wonderful smells of the world. She’s curious but polite, a little cautious when meeting new people or dogs — but always kind. She gets along with dogs of all shapes and sizes, has met children (6–12 years old) and done great, and is comfortable with adults, including men. She even met a cat briefly with no concerns.

At home, Winnie is an absolute dream. She: ✨ Sleeps quietly in her crate all night ✨ Can free roam without being destructive ✨ Rides like a champ in the car (she loves car rides!) ✨ Eats politely — no resource guarding here ✨ Learns routines quickly and is eager to please She’s still polishing up her house training skills, but she’s doing well with regular outings and thrives with consistency. She’s also working on recall, “wait,” and “stay” — she’s a smart cookie and catches on quickly! And now for the most important detail… Winnie smiles. Truly. She has this happy, joyful little expression that lights up the room. And if that doesn’t win you over, watching her spin in lightning-fast tail-chasing circles certainly will. It’s impossible not to laugh. 💫

Winnie would thrive in almost any loving home — with another dog friend or as your one-and-only cuddle companion. She doesn’t spook easily and has a calm, easygoing nature that makes her such a pleasure to have around. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, low-maintenance best friend who will happily curl up beside you after a stroll around the block… Winnie is waiting. 💕

Apply to meet this perfect little girl — your couch (and your heart) will thank you. 🐶❤️ If you're interested in meeting Winnie, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

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.
