Meet Winston, affectionately known as Winnie, a 26-pound bundle of joy wrapped in boundless energy and love. This playful pup is the epitome of a loyal companion, always ready to engage in fun activities or simply cuddle up for a cozy nap. He likes fetch, running, tugging, toys, water, and chase. Despite his youthful exuberance, which includes a penchant for chewing and a lively bark, Winnie is incredibly smart and quick to learn new tricks. He already knows the sit, down, and fetch commands and has taught himself to open gate latches. He loves leading on a leash and is still working on house training so please be patient with him. While Winnie loves playing with other dogs and is respectful around them, he tends to take the lead around cats and can be very bossy. He thrives on companionship and never wants to be alone. He has no experience with children but he has a tendency to nip during excited playtime so he`ll need to live with kids at least 12 years old. His protective nature makes him an excellent watchdog who`s always alert. Above all, Winnie`s affectionate demeanor makes him the perfect wiggly lap dog for anyone seeking a lovable friend. Adopt Winnie today and experience the unconditional love and vibrant energy he brings to every moment. (tw 10/22/2025)
