Name: Winston Breed: Border Collie Mix Sex: Neutered Male Age: 5 years Weight: ~60lbs History Winston was surrendered by his owner, who no longer had the time to care for him. Personality Winston is a big sweetheart with a wonderful personality. He loves affection and soaking up attention, whether that means cuddling on the couch or simply sitting beside you. He truly enjoys being around his people. While he loves to play and go for walks, he’s just as happy relaxing and keeping you company. He makes a fantastic companion. Behavior Winston is house-trained and non-destructive. He knows “sit,” is very smart, and is highly treat-motivated. We are unsure how he does with other dogs and recommend a meet-and-greet if you have a resident dog. We are also unsure how he is with cats. Winston could thrive in a variety of home environments. Health When Winston arrived, he had severe ear infections and large growths in both ear canals. The shelter is currently evaluating whether we can cover the cost of surgery. If approved, the procedure will be performed at no cost to his adopter. If not approved, a rescue or adopter would need to cover the surgery, which is estimated at around $3,500. Aside from this, Winston is healthy and up to date on his vaccines.
