Winnie

Fill out an adoption form

Winnie is a fun-loving Boxer with that classic wiggle butt, goofy grin, and boundless affection for her people. This muscular, energetic girl combines playful puppy vibes with a loyal, loving personality – perfect for active adults seeking a devoted four-legged friend.

Winnie excels as an office companion or work-from-home buddy – she’s quiet, settles down quickly, and naps contentedly all day. Her house manners are impeccable: no need for crating, no destructiveness, and fully house-trained with zero accidents.

On leash, Winnie walks politely most of the time, but she’s strong and may pull enthusiastically toward exciting sights (a harness is recommended!). Her previous family reports she’s an excellent hiker with reliable recall (especially when using a recall collar), and she absolutely adores water – summers spent swimming and playing on a lake are her happy place

Winnie is wonderfully affectionate with adults and gets along great with kids 12 and older (she’s currently thriving in Rhode Island with some older children). However, no homes with children under 10, babies, or toddlers, please – she once had a resource-guarding incident over a toy with a toddler. So far, she hasn’t meshed well with other dogs, so she would do best as the only pet in a calm, adult-oriented home.

If you’re an active person (or couple) looking for a sweet, loyal Boxer to join hikes, lake days, or quiet office hours, Winnie could be your perfect match!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
