Story
Meet Winston 🐾 Winston is a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier / Beagle mix with the sweetest, most soulful eyes and a gentle heart to match. At 28 pounds, he’s the perfect medium size—big enough to enjoy adventures, yet small enough to be an excellent cuddle companion. Winston is initially a bit timid in new situations, but once he feels safe, his loving personality shines. With time and reassurance, he becomes very affectionate and truly enjoys attention. He loves relaxing on the couch, sleeping in bed with his people, and being close to those he trusts. He is mostly house trained and does best with a consistent routine. Winston is good with other dogs and has done well around children who are respectful of his gentle nature. While he hasn’t been formally tested with cats, his calm, easygoing temperament suggests he would likely do fine with proper introductions. Winston loves snacks and takes treats very gently, which perfectly reflects his soft personality. He’s still learning about leash walking and doesn’t love it yet, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace using positive reinforcement. He is not crate-trained and currently sleeps on the couch or in bed—comfort and closeness are important to him once he feels secure. Winston is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. Winston’s Perfect Home 🏡 Winston would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands he may need a little time to feel safe and settled. A predictable daily routine will help him continue to build confidence and succeed with house training. His ideal home includes: • A person or family who is gentle, patient, and affectionate • A home that values companionship and connection • Another friendly dog (optional, but he does well with canine friends) • Respectful children who understand giving a shy dog space at first • Someone willing to work slowly on leash confidence • A home where couch time and bedtime cuddles are welcome With patience, love, and consistency, Winston will blossom into a deeply loyal and affectionate companion. Not the Right Fit If… ❌ Winston may not be the best match if: • You’re looking for a high-energy, instantly outgoing dog • You need a dog who is fully leash-trained right away • You require crate training as a must-have • Your home is very loud, chaotic, or fast-paced without space for a dog to warm up gradually • You’re unable to provide routine, reassurance, and gentle guidance If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming
