Winter is a 1-year-old Standard Poodle in Portland, OR, who needs $2,000 for Gastronomy.

Winter came into our lives in April 2022 at the tender age of 5 months. At only that age she had already been in two homes. We got her from someone that was sheltering her as the owner didn't want her anymore. Winter was someone's Christmas gift that ended up being too much to handle and was given away.

Winter is our funny, silly, always happy puppy. She is calm, doesn't bark, and loves to play with our two other dogs. Our other dogs just sleep all day long and don't know how to play together. Winter is the glue of the bunch. She plays with both of them! She is also my daughters best friend. anywhere my daughter goes, rest assured Winter is only a few steps behind.

Winter thinks she is part cat and loves to climb things. She also thinks she is human and loves to sit on anyone's lap. If you are sitting, she will sit on you! She also lays on her back immediately upon meeting someone for them to rub on her belly. She makes everyone smile all the time. Our lives will never be the same because she is in it.

Winter had to have 12 inches of her intestines removed as she had four punctures that would not heal. She is a mischievous puppy and will eat anything in her sight. she requires constant supervision because she will eat rocks, sticks, socks, and toys in a heart beat.

Winter will require lots of medications and check ups post surgery. My current bill is already at $6900 that doesn't cover any of the take home medications. I've charged my credit cards and will need to pay those back.
