Meet Winnie! ??

Winnie is a beautiful 40-pound Black Lab mix who has found herself in rescue through no fault of her own. Her elderly owner passed away, and this sweet girl suddenly lost the person and home she knew. Now Winnie is hoping someone will open their heart and give her the loving home she deserves.

Winnie is good with other dogs, and is housetrained. She is actually very good at communicating when she needs to go out! She will go to the back door to let you know she needs to go outside. If you don't notice her, she'll come find you, walk right up to you, and give you a little paw to make sure you get the message. ❤️

Winnie has an active personality. She loves to run, play, and have fun with the other dogs. She would enjoy a family who wants a dog that can keep up with them and then settle down for some quality time afterward.

Winnie is also not a fan of bad weather. Thunderstorms and nasty weather make her nervous, so she would appreciate a family who understands that she may need a little extra reassurance when Mother Nature isn't cooperating. She will be in your lap during a storm!

Winnie came into rescue with Theresa, who is also available for adoption. They were surrendered together after their owner's passing, but they do not have to be adopted together. We would love to see them each find wonderful homes where they can start the next chapter of their lives.

Winnie has already lost one family she loved. Now she's ready for a second chance—a family who will make her feel safe, included, and loved for the rest of her life. ?

If you're looking for a fun-loving, playful Lab mix who enjoys other dogs and is already housetrained, Winnie might just be the girl you've been looking for! ?.

Winnie is being fostered in Mississippi but can be transported to you if you decide to adopt. If you are interested, please message us and we will be happy to send an adoption application to get the adoption process started!

Adoption process

All our rescues work hard to find loving homes for the dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that find their way into their care. These animals come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and all of them are looking for a forever home.

They will be completely vaccinated, vetted, neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. They are transported to you with our USDA licensed and certified transport – Rescue Riders LLC, “The most animal-friendly transport on the road.”

Their adoption fees vary but, in all cases, it covers the animals vetting, vaccinations, spay/neuter as well as their foster care, and their transportation to your area.

Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal.

ADOPT, DON'T SHOP.

Shelter location

Our rescues generally do not have an actual shelter building in the Chicago area. This means it is often not possible to meet these babies prior to their adoption however all of these rescues have been rehoming dogs to the north for many years and are happy to offer you references who can fill you in on their experience and how well the process works.

There is generally a money-back guarantee and a mechanism for returning the dog to the rescue if needed. All these rescues then work to re-home the animal. None are returned to a shelter. We never leave a rescue behind!
