About Winston sponsor me

Winston is a charming Miniature Schnauzer who is navigating some health challenges. He has megaesophagus, which requires him to eat and drink upright in a specially designed Bailey Chair. This condition means that he needs extra care, including having his food thickened and taking Sildenafil an hour before meals to help food pass through. Recently, Winston developed aspiration pneumonia after a dental procedure and neuter, so he also needs diligent dental care. Despite these hurdles, this 7-year-old boy is ready to love and be loved. He gets along well with other dogs, making him an excellent companion. He was rescued just before being euthanized, and he deserves a warm, caring home that can make his life as comfortable and joyful as possible. Winston is neutered, house trained, and his vaccinations are up-to-date. We appreciate any support you can offer for his medical and food costs, though his adoption fee is waived.
