About Webster

Webster boasts not just an incredible hairdo but also a delightful personality. He thrives in a calm environment, perfect for someone who is retired or works from home. His greatest joy comes from being near his person, making him a loyal companion for any couch. Webster has overcome challenges from his past, having been rescued as a stray from North Carolina. Found severely matted, he had wounds that have since healed. Despite not knowing his history, it’s clear he once had a loving home. While he is friendly with other dogs and cats, he’s most interested in snuggling up next to you. That said, he struggles with crate anxiety, so a patient adopter who can help him with this would be ideal. If you think you can provide Webster a loving forever home, please submit an application to get started.
