About Weston

Meet Weston – an incredible 55-pound bundle of love. At around 3-4 years old, he's come through some tough times but is ready for a fresh start. Weston was found wandering the streets of Texas, in poor shape, suffering from mange and a serious skin infection. Fortunately, he was rescued just in time. After receiving the medical attention he desperately needed, Weston is blossoming. He's currently healing and gaining weight, with scars that tell a story of resilience. This sweet guy is a certified sweetheart, eager to find his forever home. He’s dog-friendly, living harmoniously with six resident dogs, sharing meals and enjoying their company. Weston loves to lounge on his cozy dog bed and enjoys sunbathing in the dog run. While he’s a bit shy with men initially, he warms up with patience and kindness. He's also learned to enjoy walks and is getting the hang of leash manners, though he may still chase after interesting critters like rabbits. Due to his past, he’s had some moments of anxiety, including a fence-jumping incident, so a securely fenced yard and supervision is crucial for his safety. Weston needs a family that will continue his veterinary care, specifically for his heartworm treatment. He’s not asking for perfection—just understanding and a commitment to helping him thrive. This loving boy is ready to experience the joy of being cherished and included in a forever family. Could you be the one to give Weston the happy ending he deserves?
