My name is Winston!

This is what months of patience, love, and training looks like. If you are genuinely interested in adopting Winston and are ready to put in the work, please read this entire post.

Winston came to us incredibly fearful and very stubborn. He had a skin/ear infection. What initially appeared to be a head wobble turned out to be petit grand mal seizures. He didn't feel his best and on top of this his whole world was turned upside down. Needless to say he did not trust us at all. He would lash out at us and to be transparent, he got us good a few occasions. He would seemingly wait for us to retaliate, but instead we met him where he was with patience and understanding. 

After many months of trust building and several training sessions, we are at a place where we feel Winston is ready to be adopted. He will need someone very dedicated and patient who understands that he needs time to build trust and who can set firm boundaries and continue training with him. He is eligible for someone who would foster-to-adopt.

Winston would thrive in a home as an only pet and with no children. He is crate and potty trained. He really loves walks and play time! He is on an anxiety med as well as a seizure med. He is sensitive to certain diets so we stick to salmon based dog food. He knows sit, stay, shake, and so much more! He had a pretty rocky start but has turned out to be such a wonderful, sweet, and loving boy. ❤️
