Meet Winkler

This little male miniature Pinscher was running down the middle of Winkler Street in the Greater East End, Houston, Texas in May 2011 when our rescue Hagerman, while being walked by a volunteer, noticed him and started barking. Winkler was inches away from being hit by a car when someone stopped their truck in the middle of traffic and tried to catch him. A Barrio Dogs volunteer was finally able to save Winkler from ongoing traffic.  To date, no one has claimed him.   

We have no fosters or funds to board him but how can we not help this little guy we are calling Winkler. He has received all of his vaccines and will be neutered soon. The vet thinks he is 1 to 2 years old and is heartworm negative. Please help us find Winkler a foster or forever home. He is in boarding now but unfortunately our boarding costs are very high and putting him in foster care will be a huge help for us. Thank you for networking Winkler’s story. If you want more information, contact us at info@barriodogs.org.

UPDATE:  Winkler has found a foster home with a wonderful family; we are hopeful that he finds his forever home soon!
