Technically, this girl is named Princess Winter Wonderland but we just call her Winter! She was named by our youngest volunteer, Andy, a 5 year old who helps his mom out with transports, pulling dogs from shelters and, most importantly, naming the dogs! Winter was quite smitten with Andy so we took that to mean that she approved of her new name!
Winter is a beautiful 2 year old girl. She weighs around 60 lbs. Her face is 100% boxer but her body looks like more like a bulldog. She has a broader chest and more muscular shoulders than a boxer and her hips sit higher than her shoulders which is typical of english bulldogs. She may be mixed with either american or english bulldog. She has cute, spotted ears that sit up on top of her head when something gets her attention and she has a natural tail.
Winter seems to really like other dogs and children. She has not met any cats yet. She is very playful and outgoing with dogs. She is a little shy meeting new people but she is very food motivated so a couple of treats will get her to warm right up to you! She goes into her crate easily and is quiet and well behaved once she's in. She is easily handled and walks nicely on a leash. She is housetrained.
Winter did test positive for heartworms so she will need to be treated before she is adopted. Her treatments are scheduled for 1/30 and she will need to stay calm and quiet for about 30 days after treatment.
