My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Winnie!

Here is what we know about her past: She was found in a field with her sister in Coachella Valley and taken to the shelter as a stray. Her sister was immediately adopted, but Winnie spent at least the next 127 days at the shelter. Winnie watched as roommate after roommate came in and was then adopted out. She played well with all of them until they went to their forever homes, leaving her behind. Someone must have really liked her at this high kill shelter, because despite the horrific sadness of spending so much time there, she managed to survive.

Until they couldn't keep her any longer.

Southpaw got an email with the dogs at the shelter who would be euthanized in the next 72 hours and 10-month-old Winnie, who hasn't even had a chance to live yet, was on the list.

We went to bust her out. Here how that looked: https://youtu.be/oiZBSCoY-3k

Here is what Winnie's life is like now: After giving her a much-needed bath, Winnie now wakes up after a good night's sleep in her foster mom's room. She spends her days playing with the other dogs in her foster home, taking fun walks to get exercise, taking naps and slaying it at being a good dog.

Her future: Are you her perfect forever home? Winnie is extremely well behaved for her age and history, but she still has playful puppy energy. She is looking for a family who will shower her with the love she deserves. Ideally, Winnie would do best in a home with another dog her size to play with. Here she is playing with her foster brother and sisters: https://youtube.com/shorts/IHw1rCkVtnQ

Winnie is shy around new people but quickly warms up if they give her a doggy treat and tell her she's a good girl. People often comment on her unique look since she is definitely mostly American Staffordshire Terrier, but she has more wire hair.

If you think this unique, playful, well-mannered, fun-loving girl can be the right fit for your home, please fill out an application to set up a meet and greet.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Whether a potential adopter meets the dog at an adoption event or sees them online, we need an adoption application to begin the process

2.
Interview

The second step is a phone call so I can tell the adopter all about the dog, and find out more about their lifestyle.

3.
Home Check

The most important step! All members of the house hold need to be there. I check the yard and the home.

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

We let them know we will keep the dog chipped to us and that if they can't keep the dog, he/she comes back to us. Adoption fee is collected

5.
