Winter is a sweet 9 year old female, well adjusted, trained, and friendly.  She loves people and tried to kiss the kids when they visited in her prior home.  She does not act her age as she is active and, other than some to be expected arthritis, very healthy.

Winter had spent her whole life with one woman and they would have spent their golden years together until a devastating cancer diagnosis has left her owner unable to care for Winter any longer.  It is VERY clear to everyone what a wonderful owner she has been and wanted to make sure her beloved dog had everything she needed.

At about the same time we were contacted about Winter, we learned from a prior GSRNE adopter that their dog had passed away.  Their house was so quiet that it was unbearable and they were looking for a new companion.  We told them about Winter and their hearts broke for everyone involved.  They quickly said yes to fostering to adopt her.  When Winter arrived, it was love at first sight.  She took to her new people right away and they couldn’t believe what a perfect fit she was.  It’s not always easy to find placement for a senior dog, but the stars perfectly aligned for everyone in this case.  Congratulations to Winter’s new family.

(Please note, for those concerned, requests for privacy between surrenderer and adopter are being honored)
