All about Winston

Winston and his half-brother Tonka were acquired off of Kijiji 6 weeks ago by a family who wanted farm dogs. Unfortunately,  through no fault of their own, Tonka and Winston were not a good fit for their new family. The decision was made to turn them over to us to ensure that they each found exactly the right home.

Darling boy Winston is a calm, quiet, gentle boy who is sweet and sensitive.   He can be timid in some situations, including going through doorways and entering some new builings. He'll flourish with some confidence building, and an opportunity to learn all about the joys of indoor life.

He is housetrained and has great house manners -- he doesn't chew, is not destructive, is quiet and easy going.  He is reliable when left home alone.

Winston is super sweet and friendly with people.  His foster family has taken him to the local farmers market where he was very excited to meet so many new friends.  He walks well on leash overall.

He is polite and friendly with other dogs.  What a good boy!  He has not yet been too interested in playing with his foster siblings.  He would be fine with other calm dogs, or equally happy as an only dog.



Winston is overall good with the family cat, but as he has settled into his foster home, he has decided that chasing the cat from time to time seems like a fun idea.   He can live with a cat, but it should be a cat that is doggy savvy and not as likely to give chase.

He has been good with kids, but tends to forget his size, and may jump up for attention if given the opportunity.

Winston is neutered, is HW negative, and has now been vaccinated.  He has just completed treatment for a UTI.

Winston will benefit greatly from dropping excess weight, and putting increasing muscle mass in his back end.  With a healthy diet and lots of exercise we expect him to flourish.


Winston is being fostered in Belleville, ON.  His approved adopters will be required to pick him up in person.  A adoption donation of $500 will apply.

Fenced yard required.
