About Winston

Meet Winston, a charming retriever-husky-lab-shepherd mix who's almost 3 years old. He exudes a calm and sweet energy, getting along well with all dogs and rarely ever barking or howling. Winston thrives on human connection, enjoying affection and companionship. While he’s not particularly interested in toys, he finds joy simply being with people. He’s gentle with children over 12 and shows great affection during walks. Though Winston was previously adopted, he returned due to being overly excited while playing with a younger dog. He likes to chew when his excitement peaks but generally isn’t a chewer. Winston would flourish in a home with a more laid-back companion. Although he has not been tested with cats, his mellow nature suggests he might adjust well. Winston is both house-trained and crate-trained, responding well to commands like "sit" and "wait". He enjoys his walks and shows enthusiasm, though he currently uses a prong collar. At 55 lbs, he’s a solid, friendly dog who loves to snuggle and lounge on the couch. A perfect fit for someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule, he can adapt well to either an apartment or house. If you’re interested in making Winston a part of your life, reach out for an application and more photos. He's looking forward to meeting you in Oregon!
