Hi there, I’m Winston – your playful, loving 2-year-old long-haired Chi mix! I weigh 18 pounds of pure cuddles and sweetness, just waiting to share all my love with you.

I’m potty trained with a doggy door, but I might need a little help learning the ropes at my new home. I’m super eager to please, and I’m so thankful my foster mama is helping me with my training. One of my favorite things is to run, so I’ll need a safe yard with a secure fence to keep me safe, especially near the front door!

A few months ago, I had a little scuffle with another dog, and while no one really knows what happened, I do feel more comfortable being the only dog in the home. When I have to share food, treats, or toys, I can get a little nervous and might growl, but it’s just because I want to make sure there’s enough love to go around. Don’t worry, though – I’ve never been aggressive towards people or kiddos, just other dogs when it comes to my stuff! After my surgery, I’ve healed up nicely, and my vet has given me the all-clear to find my forever home.

I absolutely LOVE to cuddle – I’ll happily snuggle right into your lap or curl up in your bed (though if I have a soft blanket, I’m content on the floor too). My favorite toys are the ones that crinkle – I’ve got a whole bunch to bring with me!

What I really need is a family who’ll enjoy getting me some exercise while also showering me with cuddles and kisses. I’m great with kids who understand that I’m a little protective of my things, and I can’t wait to be your loyal, loving companion!
