Winnie is a 5 year old Pug in Tacoma, WA, who needs $4,800 for FHO (femoral head ostectomy) & Patella Repair.

Winnie was rescued from a kill shelter in Las Vegas and brought to rescue in Washington. She is a Frenchie/Pug mix and about 5 years old. She was adopted in May of 2026 and has brought joy to all those around her.

Winnie struggles with walking and cannot jump. After adoption she received x-rays. We found out she was likely hit by a car in her past and her right hip is damaged. She needs surgery to repair it, she is in constant pain. The x-ray also revealed she has a luxating patella on her left knee which causes her knee to not work properly. She has fused disks in her back and is losing her eyesight

Winnie loves people and her tennis balls. Her favorite are the squeaky ones. She charges like a baby hippo with her hard head if she wants something. She tries to protect us by biting the leg of intruders but doesn't have the teeth to be effective. She gets picked up many times each day to be included everywhere and loves snuggles. Her smile lights up the room and she has the sweetest soul.

Winnie has had a hard life, filled with pain and for her to be able to jump up or climb a ramp without falling would change her life. She has her forever home and needs help getting her the multiple surgeries. Her being able to go on a walk and chase balls would change her.
