Winnie

My story

*Note: Winnie is currently in Korea but he will be arriving in Toronto once he is adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click here.BackgroundWinnie was rescued in April 2023 from a breeding facility in Boryeong, South Korea. After his rescue, he stayed at a dog training center because there was no space available at our partner boarding house. This spring, we finally had space to bring him back to our partner boarding house. Now, it is his turn to find the loving forever home he has been waiting for.Personality and SocializationWinnie is a cheerful, people-loving dog with a lot of affection to give. He is comfortable with both men and women right away, with no shyness around strangers. He is a very happy and playful boy who loves greeting everyone he meets. He is the kind of dog who gets excited to see people and always makes his happiness known.With other dogs, Winnie is social and gets along with most. He does best with dogs who can match his energy and enjoy play. Dogs that are rude or overly chaotic are not his preference, and he will let them know. His ideal playmate is one who loves to run and play alongside him. Winnie has no known experience with cats.BehavioursWinnie is well practiced in daily routines. He travels well in the car, handles vet visits calmly, and has no trouble with baths. He has good experience with leash walking. He prefers to do his business outdoors. He has not shown signs of separation anxiety or destructive behaviours.Health and DietWinnie is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on his vaccinations. He also receives monthly parasite prevention. When he was rescued, he was diagnosed with heartworm, but he completed his treatment successfully and has no medical history that requires ongoing follow up care.He eats kibble twice a day and, so far, has not shown any allergies.Ideal HomeWinnie would be happiest with a family that enjoys spending lots of time with their dog, especially going outdoors and doing activities together. He would also love having a playful dog sibling to run around and snuggle with. A home with someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal for Winnie. He would do best in a house rather than a busy downtown condo environment. Winnie is a very loving and affectionate boy. Whoever welcomes this sweet boy into their family will be very lucky.*Note: Winnie is currently in Korea but he will be arriving in Toronto once he is adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click here.
