Hi, my name is Winnifred.  A am a 2yo, 45lb, athletic, kid and dog friendly pit mix.  I’m looking for an active household to take care of me. 

I am not very interested in other dogs, or people, but I certainly love squirrels, bunnies and moles.  A am very strong, but also very good at learning.  My friends tell me I am an absolute keeper and have the most beautiful black and white coat and some say I look like the Riddler with black patches on my eyes!

When you first get to know me, I may seem a bit excitable, but a few brisk walks daily along with special time with my person is all I need to work out any excess energy.  Sometimes I get a bit nervous when my person leaves the room, but I quickly will acclimate to my surroundings and respond instantly and quite favorably to positive affirmations and praise. 

I am currently crate training and am very proud to report I have become potty trained in less than a week through positive reinforcement. 

I have no current health issues, my coat is ideal, my teeth are clean, and I love going to the beauty salon to get my nails done.  I hope that you will reach out to my foster to learn more about me and I am really excited to meet you.
