About Winston

Meet Winston! Winston is a special boy seeking a patient companion who understands that he needs time to feel safe. Initially timid and quiet, he shows his playful puppy energy once he gets comfortable, especially with some treats and gentle encouragement. Ideally, Winston would thrive in an adult-only home that appreciates his unique personality. It’s essential he goes to a home with another dog, as he can learn valuable social skills from a furry friend. He's had some interactions with cats, but he tends to chase them, so a cat-free environment would be best. Adopting Winston involves a process through our behavior department to ensure the perfect match. If you're interested, reach out directly to our team for details. What are you waiting for?
