About this Dog
LOCATION: Vista, CaliforniaDOB: 04/01/2023Meet Winnie, a gentle lab-pittie mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that just needs a little help to shine. She’s a loyal, affectionate companion who’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue building her confidence and feel truly safe.Winnie is the ultimate snuggle champion—on the couch, in bed, curled up next to you like the oversized lap dog she believes she is. Once she trusts you, she’s all in. Her bond with her people is deep and devoted, and her silly, playful side starts to shine through. She’s got some impressive ninja moves when she’s in the mood to play and could easily qualify for a kangaroo impersonation contest with those high jumps. Her favorite hobby? Taking over the playground and hopping her way to fun—but never over the fence.Winnie is dog-friendly and enjoys playing with canine companions once properly introduced. She gets a little nervous at first but settles in well with patience and a calm approach. She has lived with a cat in the past with no issues and is respectful with animals in her space. Winnie is also crate trained and potty trained, although if she's very scared, she may have an accident.Loud noises, cleaning equipment, and unfamiliar men in hats can be overwhelming for her, and walks through busy neighborhoods aren’t her thing. But give her a quiet trail in the woods or a peaceful yard, and she’s in her happy place. Winnie’s fear shows up as growling toward people she’s unsure of, but with understanding and a slow approach, she continues to build trust. There is no resource guarding in her behavior, just a longing to feel safe.She’s currently in a home with children and does well, but her next home should be child-free—not because she doesn’t like them, but because her anxiety needs a quieter environment to help her thrive. She would do best with experienced adopters who understand the needs of a fearful dog and can provide the structure, love, and consistency she deserves.Winnie has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person or people to help her blossom. If you're looking for a loyal, goofy, snuggly best friend who just needs a little extra reassurance, Winnie could be the perfect fit.Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

100% of Winnie's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Winnie.
Adopt Winnie and Receive Winnie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Winnie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Winnie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Winnie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Winnie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Winnie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Winnie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Winnie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Winnie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
