About Winston

Winston is the definition of a good boy! This sweet, affectionate young pup is always up for fun and loves making new friends. He is playful with other dogs and gentle with children, so he thrives in a social setting. Winston has blossomed in foster care; he enjoys walks, car rides, and adventures while eagerly learning commands like “come” and “sit.” As a house guest, he is fantastic. Winston is fully house trained and can be left alone for up to 8 hours without any accidents. He sleeps well in his kennel, needing a little nudge to go inside but settling comfortably once there. Slow mornings are his favorite, where he will snuggle back to sleep after you let him out of his kennel. Although he can be mischievous when his foster parents ignore his playful requests, he’s learning not to grab shoes or other items for attention. With plenty of puppy energy, he would flourish with a confident dog sibling to guide him. Winston rarely barks, surprising everyone when he does, and greets newcomers like potential best friends. With a loving, loyal spirit, Winston is ready to bring joy and laughter to a new family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
