Need a winter vehicle / dog car...
i was gonna say an old jeep cherokee 4.0 but it seems some others have beat me too it. Late model rabbit with a set of snows woudl get you around just fine... or a B5 audi a4. They can both be had for relatively cheap.

Wife`s manager got 08 cherokee and it already had almost everything broken in it, he goes to dealer almost every month to fix one thing or another, windshield washers, passenger front window motor, something electrical in dashboard, he curses about it constantly. You say yours is fine. Go figure.

lots of options offered up so far, but I have to say, for tiny $$, my 01 grand cherokee (limited, v8, loaded with nav, leather, heated) is the perfect winter / dog hauler. I have a 65 lbs american staffordshire and he jumps in no prob (have a 2 in lift). Its easily one of my favorite cars
Winner winner.....this is your ticket.
I have a '00 Toyota 4Runner that I've been cruising around in here the past month and a half (33" of snow on Sat and another 12-20" kicking in right now) and it is perfect for my Vizsla. Jumps in the back; have the gate seperator; no fuss no muss. If it wasn't the 4Runner I had an '05 Grand Cherokee picked out as well for about $9K.
A new bodystyle '05 and later would be great. Pick one of those things up for the upper teens I suspect.

Just bought a 2010 GTI as a daily driver. It's really fun and the quality of the interior is surprisingly good. It also has 4 doors and plenty of space for dogs if you fold down seats. Not sure about the snow, but I think this is the most fun/quality that can be had for the mid to high $20s.

VW makes a nice product.
