Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 2-year-old Winnie.

Here is Baypath’s description of Winnie:

“Are you looking for a big pup with an even bigger heart? Well, Winnie is the girl for you. This gentle giant has had quite the travels during her lifetime, originally rescued from the dog meat trade in Korea. She found her way to Baypath and wasted no time stealing our hearts.

“Winnie is as sweet as can be but can be a little nervous at first. She warms up quickly with treats and is convinced she is a lap dog, plunking herself in your lap and ready for pets. Winnie also enjoys romping around with her squeaky toys.

“Already house-trained, Winnie is eager to learn leash manners and is already doing well sniffing around our trails. She looks forward to gaining more confidence and continuing to learn in her forever home. At this time, Winnie is seeking a home with teenagers or older individuals. While she is dog-friendly, she may thrive best as the center of attention.

“If you think this gentle giant could be for you, please reach out today!”
