Winston is a quiet guy who is looking for love. He is confused as to why he is homeless, has no family and is currently living in a shelter. Winston was picked up stray by a Good Samaritan and has patiently waited for his family to come in and find him but that has not happened. He is a bit overwhelmed by the loud nature and constant hustle and bustle of the shelter. Once out of the shelter environment he becomes playful and energetic, Winston just needs someone to allow him the time he needs to decompress from this leg of his journey. He will love you with all of his heart and be a loyal best friend, Winston will do best in a home with children over 10 years old and he is selective with dogs. Could you be that person? Winston is about 10 pounds, estimated to be four to five years young, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, micro-chipped, heart-worm negative and looking for his hero.
