About Winston in LA

Winston is a charming young male Dachshund, around 2-3 years old, currently in Shelbyville, TN. At 16.6 lbs with a smooth, short coat in a striking red hue, he is quite the sight! This boy's journey started under tough circumstances, having come from a severe hoarding situation, yet he remains friendly and playful. Once he warms up, you’ll find him to be a goofy companion who enjoys spending time with people and toys alike. Winston can play well with both smaller and larger dogs, but he thrives especially well in households with another young dog to help ease his separation anxiety. Winston would do best in a home with a fenced yard and children over the age of 9, as his exuberance might knock over younger kids. He’s house trained, leash trained (though he likes to pull), and crate trained, making him a great fit for families looking for an active addition. He requires someone who can spend ample time with him and provide the necessary space for his playful spirit. If you're looking for a loving companion whose playful nature can brighten your home, Winston could be the perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
