NV/Winter (Winnie)

Description

Winter (Winnie) is a sweet and loving 10-month-old brit mix (mom is an O&W purebred brit, dad is a black and white border collie/cattle dog mix).  Winter is well-adjusted and socialized.  She loves vigorous walks, water, stuffies, and chasing the ball. She loves all people and is good with respectful and dog-savvy children. Winter is house and crate trained.  She is extremely smart and has rapidly progressed in her training.  She responds well to hand signals for sitting and eating, she waits to be told to eat, is trained to lie down on her mat when her human family is eating, and she is working on recall.  Winter needs a home with a good-sized yard that is enclosed by a 6-foot physical fence so she can run zoomies and watch birds and squirrels.   Importantly, Winter needs an owner who is active, patient, and has the time and desire to provide her with consistent daily exercise and loving attention and plans to continue her obedience/social skills training through positive reinforcement and consistency.  Preference will also be given to a home where someone either works from home or is home most of the time.  Winter would also love to live in a home with another resident canine companion who is friendly, wants to play and is not domineering. The adoption fee for Winter is $350.  She is spayed, current on her vaccinations and microchipped.  If you are interested in making Winter a member of your family, and have the time, energy, and love to give her, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process and will be conducted by your local state coordinator.  For further information after you have completed the application (and if you are in transport distance)  you may contact the NV coordinators at doglover95966@yahoo.com or wanbran@comcast.net.  Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs.  We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Winter can be adopted up to 1400 miles from her present home to eligible adopters with the adopter driving the last 100 miles. .
