About Winston

Winston is a one-year-old male Husky and German Shepherd mix who came to us as a surrender. He shows a friendly demeanor with our staff but can be selective when it comes to other dogs. Currently, we’re unsure about his house or crate training status. Winston will be ready for adoption starting January 26, 2026. Our facility welcomes all potential adopters, whether local or from out of town. We operate on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 8:00 AM on the day he becomes available. If you're interested, feel free to call us the day before to confirm he is still up for adoption. After 10 AM, rescues can also start pulling animals, but this only applies on the first day of availability. Every animal deserves a loving home, and Winston is excited to meet his potential family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
