My story

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

Meet Winston— The Almost Champion!
(He insists it was a very close call.)

Winston is a 2-year-old, 43 pound, American Foxhound and proud holder of the highly prestigious title:
⭐ Reserve Champion at Thanksgiving Best of Show — in his dreams… or so he claims.
Was he actually in the ring? No.
Does he believe he should have been? Absolutely.

When he struts across the yard or around your living room, it’s with the confidence of a dog who has accepted second place to no one. His long legs, perfect floppy ears, and “I’m basically famous” attitude will make you feel like you’re living with canine royalty — the kind that eats socks instead of caviar.

But beneath that almost champion swagger, he’s a total sweetheart.
Here’s what you’ll love about him:

2 years old — young, goofy, fun
Crate & house trainedeven champions need manners
Dog-social and friendly — loves playtime and pack life
Kid-approved — gentle, kind, and patient with little fans
Professional cuddler after he gets his zoomies out

Winston is ready for his next big victory: winning your heart and securing the title of Best in Home — gold medal guaranteed this time.

If you’re looking for a dog with charm, humor, superb good looks, and the confidence of a champion (real or imagined), Winston is your boy.

Come meet him — he’s been practicing his winner’s walk!

If you are interested in adopting Winston, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.  

**Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **

Additional adoption info

After you have found your new best friend, please read our adoption FAQ then submit our online adoption interest form at www.charlottespca.org/adopt

The Greater Charlotte SPCA does not own or operate a shelter facility. Volunteers foster all animals in their homes until adopted. Many of our animals come from high-kill shelters and other rescue situations. We find that fostering gives us the opportunity to assess the animal's personality and needs. This allows us to best match them with the right adoptive family. Also, we are able to provide all care and medical needs for our animals. It enables the animal to develop a happy frame of mind before adoption. We have many wonderful animals looking for a forever home.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events every weekend around the Greater Charlotte area. Check our website www.charlottespca.org for upcoming event details. If you would like to meet a particular animal, please contact us so that we can arrange for the foster to bring the animal to the event.
