Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello!
My name is Winston, or Sneep-Snop, or Wolf-Butt... I answer to many names.
I LOVE chasing soccer/tennis balls, and swimming after sticks. I go after stuff in the water all year around, so make sure to bring towels in the winter!
I do best off-leash, as it allows me to investigate people and dogs alike at my own pace. I don’t generally go out of my way to socialize. I’m a working breed and just want to chase the ball as long as possible.
I have a really impressive bark! Unfortunately, I’m a scaredy-cat, and may bark/lunge if I’m on leash and something startles me. I’m also a bit of a leash puller, but pretty responsive to treats.
My people love me so much, but believe I would be my best self with more running space than they can give me. I need to be with active people.
After I run off my energy you’ll find me chilling on the couch. Night time? I’ll remind you it’s time to come to bed and settle in for cuddles.
I take a few visits to warm up, but I’m absolutely worth it!!!
