Story
Meet Winston!
Winston is a sweet 5-year-old Shih Tzu and Poodle mix weighing 14 pounds. This little guy has had a rough start — found as a matted and overgrown stray in Detroit, Winston was understandably shut down and fearful in the loud, overwhelming shelter environment. But now, in his foster home, he is making wonderful progress!
At first meeting, Winston is very shy and unsure. He tends to warm up more quickly to quiet, patient women, while he may bark at men until he feels comfortable and safe. Given time, Winston blossoms into a loving and affectionate companion who truly wants to connect.
Winston walks nicely on a leash (no tethers please) and is crate-trained. He’s a relatively quiet boy who mostly barks only at unfamiliar faces. He enjoys the company of other dogs and has no issues with cats. Because he’s not fond of high-energy environments, Winston would thrive best in a calm, adult-only home where he can feel safe and relaxed.
This special boy will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. Winston is looking for a patient and loving family who will give him the time and care he deserves — a family to call his forever.
Could you be the one to open your heart and home to Winston? He’s ready to shower his forever family with love once he feels safe and secure.
If you’re looking for a devoted, gentle, and quiet companion, Winston is waiting to meet you!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal’s temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
