This resilient, loyal, and reserved boy is around 4 years old and weighs around 40 lbs. He was found in an abusive situation where he was chained to a wall and was severely neglected.

Bearing in mind all the abuse Winston has endured, Winston is such a lovable dog who wants the kindness of his humans. He is crate-trained, enjoys his meals in there, and feels safe. He is neutral towards dogs his size, preferring the company of another independent canine friend. He is working on his leash skills.
