Hi there!  My name is Winona but my foster parents just call me Winnie!  I'm currently living with them in Beaverton, OR while I look for my next forever family.  Let me tell you a little bit about myself.  My foster parents tell me that I'm a big sweetheart and just a happy girl.  I can be a bit shy when I first meet you but don't take offense, it's not you, it's just me warming up.  Foster mom says she's had other dogs who were shy too. Some situations make me a bit unsure but with reassurance and kind words I snap back quickly.  I LOVE to go on walks and walk great on a leash.  I also love to hang out at home and sometimes be a couch potato so I hope that you have a couch and soft blanket for me.  I enjoy exploring and hanging out in the backyard with my foster brother who I like as well.  I get along well with other dogs, and although it's not mandatory, I would enjoy the company of another friendly dog in the house.  Foster mom thinks having another dog has also helped with my confidence. I am crate trained, although well behaved enough that my foster parents trust me to be outside of my crate at night and when they leave. I sleep quietly on my dog pillow at bedtime.  Here's the important thing to know, I was adopted in 2021 when I was 6 months old and lived with a family that had young kids. Honestly, the kids made me really really nervous.  I was never aggressive, and my then family tried working with me but I never got comfortable enough and it hindered my interaction with my family. My foster parents want me to live my best life so a home without young kids is what I'm looking for as I'm doing so well in a quieter less busy environment.  I might do good with older teenagers, I guess I'd have to meet them first.   So lets arrange a date and see if you love me as much as foster mom and dad do.
