Winston’s story is one of resilience and quiet strength. He was rescued in 2018 by a kindhearted gentleman who saved him from severe neglect. At the time, Winston had no shelter, was tethered to a tree, and endured mistreatment from children who tormented him with rocks & sticks. Despite this heartbreaking start, Winston’s gentle spirit endured.
He went on to live with his rescuer in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he quickly became a bit of a neighborhood legend, known for occasionally escaping the yard and strolling the streets as if he owned them. Eventually, we were contacted and brought Winston into our rescue so he could receive the stability and care he truly deserved.
Sadly, after being adopted into what we believed was a permanent, loving home, Winston was once again let down. When we learned he was not receiving the life he was promised, we immediately stepped in and placed him into a caring foster home. Winston has been waiting far too long for the forever home he deserves.
Winston is an absolutely wonderful boy, mellow, easygoing, and delightfully quirky in his own charming ways. He stays out of trouble, gets along well with other dogs, and is content with a calm, relaxed lifestyle. We believe Winston is around 8 years old and doesn’t require much exercise in his golden years. His happiest place is right beside his people, and a yard where he can roll around and enjoy the sunshine would be a dream come true.
Winston is looking for a home without small children or cats, just a peaceful environment where he can finally feel safe, loved, and secure for the rest of his life. 💙
