About Winston

Winston is a charming lab mix with loving eyes, around two years old. Although he has been at the shelter for a brief period, he has already captured the hearts of staff and volunteers. His shy and timid demeanor reflects the stress of shelter life, but beneath that, he shows a sweet nature. When meeting other dogs, Winston has been friendly, and he enjoys socializing with volunteers as well. While he takes to walks well, he could benefit from some training in loose leash walking. It’s clear he likes toys and makes for a polite greeter with new furry friends. We truly anticipate the moment he reveals his full personality in a loving home. To ensure a smooth transition, all dog adoptions begin with a relaxed meet-and-greet for the whole family, including any resident dogs. This is followed by a two-week foster period to help Winston settle in. You will get to know him well before making a commitment. If you’re interested in welcoming Winston into your life, don’t hesitate to apply. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
