Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Memphis, Tennessee

Winky got his name in the most endearing way—he has just one eye, giving him a permanent little "wink" that makes him absolutely unforgettable. But don’t let that fool you...this 60-pound sweetheart sees the world just fine, especially when it comes to finding people to love.

Winky came to us as a stray, and while we don’t know much about his past, we do know that the person who found him had both a 3 and 10-year-old who he got along well with—just another glimpse into his loving nature.

He’s affectionate and just wants love, but he can be reactive with other dogs. He would do best as the only pet in the home for now. Winky also gets overstimulated in busy or chaotic environments, so a calmer home where he can feel safe and settled will help him thrive. Winky is a special boy with so much love to give—he just needs the right person to see how special he really is. If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted companion and can offer a peaceful home, Winky is ready to be your one-and-only.
