Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Winston, and I've had a rough go lately. I lost my human, and it's left me feeling wary of new people. But don't let that fool you - underneath it all, I'm a loyal lap dog just waiting for the right person to come along.
It takes me a bit to warm up, but with patience and gentleness, I start to open up. Just ask the animal control officer who took care of me before. They saw a glimmer of trust in me, proof that I can learn to trust again with the right person.
I'm searching for someone who can see past my scars and help me heal. Someone patient and understanding, willing to give me the love and care I need to be the happy pup I know I can be.
So, if you're up for the challenge of being my guiding light on this journey, let's take that first step together. With your love and support, I know we can conquer anything. Are you in?

“The Siskiyou Humane Society exists to improve the lives of companion animals by sheltering, rehabilitating, reducing pet overpopulation and finding permanent homes. We promote responsible pet ownership, kindness to animals and enhancement of human-animal relationships through education and outreach.”
Since its founding in 1968, the Siskiyou Humane Society Adoption Center in Mt. Shasta has provided rescue and refuge for hundreds of homeless cats and dogs every year. The shelter’s staff and volunteers take special pride in getting to know the animals as individuals. Because they are familiar with the personalities of the shelter cats and dogs, they can help potential adopters find the best matches for their families and lifestyles. From kittens and puppies to previously trained adults, all pets adopted from SHS are spayed and neutered, given permanent micro-chip identification, and adult dogs are assessed for behavior using a nationally known behavior evaluation.
Siskiyou Humane Society is a “no-kill” facility, animals aren’t euthanized because they’ve been in the shelter for too long, or to make room for more animals, but are cared for until they find new homes. Preventing pet over-population is a big part of the Society’s mission statement. The shelter provides information and referrals for low-income Spay/Neuter assistance programs in Siskiyou County. SHS also offers humane education presentations for schools, youth groups and service organizations with topics like dog-bite prevention and kindness to animals. To help owned pets stay in their homes, the shelter’s Behavior Team provides free consulting for common behavior problems, so that pet owners and pet can live together in peace.
As a private, 501(c)(3)non-profit animal welfare organization, the shelter receives no funding from government agencies or national humane organizations. Most of the funding comes from private donations and the sales at the Society’s two thrift stores.
