Winthrop

Winthrop is an adorable and very sweet Chiweenie (that’s our best guess, anyway!). He has one droopy ear and one erect ear, which gives him a wonderfully goofy expression that tends to make everyone smile. When Winthrop first arrived at his foster home, he was shy and a little nervous about his new surroundings. With a little time and patience, he has quickly settled in and become part of the pack. He enjoys being near his people and does well with everyone he meets, although he may need a little time to gather the courage to say hello. Winthrop gets along great with our two larger dogs and often looks to them for reassurance in new situations. Once a day or so, he gets a burst of energy and will zoom around the backyard or do a few laps around the couch or dinner table. The rest of the time, he is happiest curled up next to his people for a good snuggle. At night, Winthrop is a perfect sleeper. He quietly settles into a dog bed next to our bed or happily snuggles up in bed with one of the kids. House training is going well. He is still learning how to tell us when he needs to go outside, but he does very well when kept on a consistent schedule and has had no accidents while following one. Winthrop walks nicely on a leash and does not pull, though he does enjoy stopping frequently to investigate all the interesting smells along the way. He is generally a quiet dog, but he will politely alert you if someone walks by the house or if a new visitor arrives. Winthrop is a gentle, affectionate little dog who will make a wonderful companion for a patient and loving family.
