Winkie

Breed: Rat Terrier
Sex : Female
Age: 5 Months
Size: 15  lbs.

Winkie has come a long way from the 3 pound pup who underwent emergency eye surgery at 5 weeks old. After her owners fed her too close to another dog (her father), her eye was "bit out" as the owners explained. They had no money to treat the pup that they had intentionally bred, and instead, placed her in a crate for an excruciating 36 hours before calling AAL for help. Help arrived on the spot, and she has recovered fantastically. Although the eye could not be saved, nothing could halt this rambuncious puppys spirit. She is always looking for a toy, a good tug of war game, or busy chasing one of the other dogs at AAL (usually Chili Dog). The only thing that could make Winkie happier than she already is would be a family of her own.
