About Winston

Meet Winston, a 15-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who's still got a spark of curiosity and charm. Weighing in at just 6 pounds, this little gentleman is looking for his retirement home. Despite his age, Winston enjoys going for walks and loves to cuddle up for long, warm naps. He’s great with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages, and when he needs a breather, he seeks out a quiet spot to relax. Winston does have a few peculiar eating habits; he’s quite picky and prefers fresh-cooked chicken over dog food. We think he deserves a life of luxury filled with gourmet meals! While he has early-stage kidney disease, it’s currently not showing any symptoms. As time goes on, he may need some additional veterinary care. Winston experiences some separation anxiety, so his ideal home would be with someone who works from home or who can take him to work. He loves to hang out in his kennel next to you while you work. He also requests a personal wardrobe since he can get chilly easily. If you believe you can provide the perfect retirement home for Winston, reach out to the Steele County Humane Society.
