My story

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

Winston
Winston is a Male Terrier/Lab mix.

DOB: April of 2023.
Adoption fee: $150.00

I did not have the best beginning in life. My litter was left at an animal control facility before we were able to eat solid food. A good Samaritan took us in as temporary fosters to help us to survive without our mother, which we did. I had every parasite you could imagine, and my digestive tract needed time to catch up with my changing diet. I am doing well with a grain free diet and grain free treats.

I am a little behind where most pups would be at my age because I’ve been in a shelter setting for far too long. I will need an owner or family who understands I will need time to adjust. Time to get used to my new surroundings and adjust to being in a home. I can do it, I just need a little time and understanding.

I will require a physically fenced in yard. I am walking much better on a leash. I love to play fetch and acting goofy. I may match with another pending a meet and greet. Not sure about cats, but possibly trainable. I would do my best with children 10-12 years or older, just because I’ve never been around young children.

We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties.

Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!
