Winston's Story

MEET WINSTON<br/><br/>Winston would like to clear up a small case of mistaken identity.<br/><br/>Yes, he looks like a Blue Heeler.<br/>Yes, he sounds like a Blue Heeler.<br/>But somewhere along the way, we're pretty sure someone accidentally installed "Labrador" software into cattle dog hardware.<br/><br/>One year old Winston is playful, happy, and wonderfully laid back. He missed the memo about needing to spend his days herding the furniture, reorganizing the household, and developing seventeen different hobbies before breakfast. INSTEAD Winston's perfect day consists of playing with his ball, romping around with his dog friends, and then settling in to hang out with his favorite person. <br/><br/>And people are VERY MUCH his favorite.<br/><br/>In fact, Winston occasionally gets so excited to see his human friends that he forgets all four paws are supposed to remain on the ground. We're working on his enthusiastic greetings, and he's doing great—but can you really blame the guy? PEOPLE HAVE ARRIVED. THIS IS AN EVENT! <br/><br/>Aside from his occasional attempts to greet you at eye level, Winston has absolutely lovely manners. He's housebroken, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash and is an all-around easy guy to have around. He's smart, eager to please, and somehow manages to strike that perfect balance between “Want to go do something?!” and “Actually, lying here with you sounds pretty great too.”<br/><br/>Winston loves other dogs and does wonderfully with kids, making him a FANTASTIC candidate for family life. Cats, however, are a little too interesting for our boy, so he's looking for a kitty-free forever home.<br/><br/> Neutered<br/> Microchipped<br/> Vaccinated<br/> Heartworm negative<br/> Flea & parasite free<br/> On monthly prevention <br/><br/>If you've always wanted a cattle dog but thought, "Could we maybe turn the intensity down a few notches?”<br/><br/> Congratulations.

Two Black Dogs Foundation's Adoption Policy
All adopters MUST fill out an application. We do not respond to inquiries submitted through PetFinder. If you have questions about a specific animal feel free to email us, or send us a message on Facebook. Applications are reviewed in the order they are received. If you are approved to adopt a member of our team will contact you. Meet and greets are set up by appointment only after you’ve been approved. In most cases you are allowed to take your new pet home after your meet and greet, unless the animal is too young to be spayed/neutered, in which case you will sign up to foster-to-adopt. We do not hold animals so please do not apply or set up a meet and greet unless you are ready to leave with your new pet. Any vetting done at your own vet clinic will be at your own expense. Spay/neuter included in adoption fee must be done by one of our local partner vet clinics, and adopter is responsible for arranging transportation. All animals adopted through TBDF are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and parasite free and up to date on their preventions. All cats and kittens are FiV/FeLV tested, all dogs over 6 months of age are heartworm tested and treated if positive.
