My story

Winky is a petite girl, estimated now at 8-9 months old, and is 60 pounds. She and her sister, Wonky, were brought to the rescue by good samaritans who found them on the road in southern Illinois. Winky had a cavity in her face where her eye should have been. With our vet's examination, it was discovered her eyeball had been ruptured sometime previously and never addressed resulting in a dead and shriveled eye. Our vet successfully surgically removed the remnants of the eye and the site is healed with most of the fur now grown back. Both sisters are timid but have made lots of progress. They get along well right now but are not overly attached to one another. We feel each would do best and progress faster in confidence and socialization being placed in a home with a well socialized resident dog as a companion. We would consider placing them together based on the experience and situation of the home. Winky enjoys being petted and affection. She is now comfortable on leash/harness (although she does startle at times) and jumps right in the van. She had her first formal groom and handled that well. She is shy at first with new people and still fearful of unfamiliar situations. She will need a patient and understanding adopter willing to work with her shyness as well as the training all puppies need. A securely fenced yard will be required. Please email gprci.info@gmail.com with any questions. Adoption information and our adoption application can be found at gprci.com

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Winky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
