About Winston

Meet Sir Winston! With his handsome white coat and distinguished little face, he truly looks like a royal gentleman. At 8 months old and about 13 pounds, he’s a schnauzer-poodle mix. Winston is sweet and has loads of love to share. Though he might be slightly shy at first, he quickly warms up and becomes a loyal companion. If you’re searching for a buddy to join you on adventures, Winston could be the one. He’s still adjusting to new experiences, having not received much socialization initially. With time, patience, and nurturing, Winston is making progress every day. His ideal home would have someone around often, ready to support him as he learns about being a beloved pet. He’s working on potty training, crate training, and basic commands, so expect a collaborative learning journey. Winston gets along fabulously with other dogs and cats, and he could thrive in a home with respectful children who understand his need for space when he feels unsure. Sir Winston has so much love to offer, and we hope to find him a family who will help him flourish. Could that family be you?
