What type of home is Winnie looking for:
Winnie is looking for a family that understands the commitment involved in caring for a mobility-impaired dog.
She needs a home where someone is present most of the time or willing to take her along on adventures, as she does not do well when left alone.
Her ideal family will continue her physical therapy, provide lots of affection, and appreciate her larger-than-life personality.
Non-negotiable 'must-haves':
-
Someone home most of the time
-
Commitment to ongoing physical therapy and strength-building exercises
-
Willingness to manage her mobility needs
-
No jumping or stair access
-
Ability to assist with bladder and bowel care as needed
-
A family that understands IVDD and mobility-impaired dogs
-
Plenty of companionship and affection
