About Winston

Meet Winston! Winston is a delightful 7 to 8 month old, 50-pound Shepherd mix who’s all about companionship. He’s super friendly with everyone—dogs, cats, and children alike. Cuddles are his specialty, and he thrives on being close to his loved ones. Winston is one of the few survivors from a litter rescued from a San Bernardino shelter. Although he has fully recovered from distemper, he experiences some lasting neurological effects, like involuntary twitching in his jaw, face, and back legs. These quirks don't hold him back; they only add to his charm as he embodies joy and playfulness. Winston is ready for a forever home where he can be appreciated for who he is. He deserves a compassionate family that will love him unconditionally. Companion friends will be a huge bonus! Fostered in Palm Desert, California, Winston is available for adoption across the USA.
