My story:

Hi, I'm Winnie! 

I might be a familiar face to those who have followed WAG in the past couple of years. I arrived at WAG in 2022 at around 8 months old with a lot to learn and spent many weeks at the shelter as a resident before being adopted. I was very well loved and made tons of progress in my new home, but sadly unfortunately sometimes these things just don't work out and so I am back here looking for a home to best suit my needs and for someone to give me an opportunity to thrive! I'm a young bouncy gal with lots of energy and lots of love to give. I have gained so much confidence in the past year, and have lots of doggy friends and great life experience. I used find people on bikes very scary but now I am relaxed about these things, as well as being great walking on leash and know lots of cues to show off. I am a really special girl with loads of friends and fans, I just have a lot of energy and some of this shows as anxious behaviours at times, but I do enjoy downtime too, napping at your feet or requesting long cuddle sessions on the couch. I am looking for a quiet home with a loving human who is able to give me the time and space to decompress and settle in, with patience and understanding to help me work on my anxieties and a managable training plan to set me up for success. I am prescribed anti-anxiety medication to help me whilst I am going through this huge transitional period in my life, at the recommendation of my Vet team and Behaviouralist. This will need to be continued moving forward and evaluated as needed. 


I really am the sweetest lovebug, who has had lots of change in my short life so far but I have a lot to offer in return for the right match. I am looking for a dog experienced human who can provide me with all the exercise, routine, enrichment and training I need. Could you be my furever fam? Or even a long term foster fam who could get me out of the busy shelter whilst I wait for something more permanant? I have been lucky enough to spend time in a couple of wonderful foster homes when our schedules align, but please reach out to WAG to chat further if you are able to support and become part of my foster crew :) 

When I am in a home I am so relaxed and all I want to do is cuddle and be by your side. When I feel settled I can be left alone for some time if needed, I'll take a nap and greet you with a waggy tail when you return. I have also been cross-country skiing and LOVED it! I am an adventure girl at heart but always followed by sleeping by your side for some well earned shut eye after. 


Ready to adopt? Please fill out an application to adopt as the first step in WAG's adoption process, or get in touch with the shelter to find out more!

My perfect home:

  • Is dog savvy and willing to take a couple of trips to get to know me before taking me home.

  • Is patient and understands that I will need time to settle in and relax after my adoption and go at my own pace. I have had lots of huge change in my life recently and am on anti-anxiety medication to help me with the transition, which will need to be continued at the recommendation of my Vet team for the foreseable future.

  • Be proactive with my training, using a local WAG approved trainer that will help me learn transition and give me the best set up for success. Including being pro-muzzle and keen to continue my muzzle training plan.

  • Having a safe & secured yard would be a bonus for morning zoomies and ball play sessions! If not, being okay with using a long line to allow plenty of freedom but keep me safe works too.

  • Will take me for regular vet checkups and be proactive with my health.
