Description:

Meet Winter! – The Bouncy Bundle of LoveThis sweet and affectionate little dog loves human companionship and is always eager to say hello! She’s easy to leash and harness, enjoys being handled, and happily visits multiple staff and volunteers in the yard.Her loose, wiggly body language shows just how playful and energetic she can be.She thrives during zoomies in the yard, often bouncing around and sometimes jumping up for attention. She can be a bit mouthy or jumpy when overstimulated, so a calm, patient adopter is ideal. Harness walks are recommended, and while she may pull a bit at first, she’s generally cooperative once out and about.She’s curious about other dogs, though overstimulation can occur, and she may display stiffness or raised hackles when observing them. For this reason, careful dog introductions at the shelter are recommended before adoption. She has not shown interest in toys or treats, but responds well to praise and human attention.This playful, loving pup is looking for a home that can match her energy, provide guidance, and give her plenty of affection. With the right family, she’ll bring lots of joy, wiggles, and love to every day.
