Wynter Black Labrador/German Shepherd Mix Female 8 Months Old

Meet Wynter!  Wynter is an approximately 8 month old Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mix.

Her Dad was a Chocolate Labrador, and her Mom was a white German Shepherd. Wynter is currently looking for a foster to adopt family through Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue so she can be transported from Arkansas. For more information, please contact info@brooklinelabrescue.org

Wynter had a couple of busy days. Wynter and her sisters were brought to the vet on March 3 to get spay.  They have come a really long way thanks to their foster working on their socialization and leash skills.Wynter tends to be the most nervous in new situations and on leash but you can see she has come a really long way.  When she started on leash practice, she would freeze and whine when the leash was put on her.  She is starting to be much more comfortable and such a brave girl.  Foster Dad does a great job reassuring her in this new environment.

Wynter was super happy the next day when foster Mom and Dad picked her up to go home!

Wynter and her sisters, Mittens, Iclyn and Gusty are all staying in the side yard since they are still unaltered and we don’t need any accidental litters coming along.

Wynter is a sweet girl and gives out sweet kisses, especially when my hands taste like chicken.Wynter tends to hang back and watch when the girls are all playing but she is interested and gaining more confidence.She even made a new friend Ferb.When it’s time to clean out their pen, they all like to supervise.  I imagine their conversation goes something like this:

Gusty: Yall think she needs helping cleaning our pen?
Iclyn: She looks like she’s doing fine.
Mittens: We can supervise
Wynter: Word!

Wynter has been making so much progress!

Wynter had a hard start to life. Her parents are outside dogs in Arkansas, and Wynter and her littermates were not wanted or cared for by their owner, and were left to fend for themselves. When they were found by a good Samaritan, they were underweight and full of worms and Wynter had bite marks on her side. They are now currently in a foster home with a rescue in AR who reached out to Brookline to help rehome them. Wynter has gained weight and has been treated medically and is now waiting for her forever family to come along.

Wynter can be shy and cautious with new people but with time trusts her caretakers and likes to get put her head in your lap to get pets and loves belly rubs. Wynter would do best with a furry friend in the home to help build her confidence and trust in her new people. Wynter likes to play tug with her littermates but also likes to chill on the dogbed in her shelter. Wynter would love to learn all about the joys of living indoors and what it’s like to be loved on by her people.

The litter is currently living in a shed with a fenced run and they keep their living quarters clean. She is food motivated so she should house train readily.Wynter is good with other dogs but has not been exposed to cats.

Wynter will be UTD on all vaccines prior to transport from Arkansas.

Please give this sweet girl a chance to find out what it’s like to be loved and safe in a home of her own!
