Winston

Meet Winston – a gentle, soulful house hippo in search of his forever couch.<br/><br/>Winston is a shy and sensitive guy with a heart full of love to give. He’s estimated to be around 4–5 years old, neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations. According to his DNA test, Winston is 75% American Pit Bull Terrier and 25% Chinese Shar Pei—basically, 100% lovable house hippo.<br/><br/>This sweet boy is the definition of a Velcro dog. Once he forms a bond, he sticks like glue. Whether you’re working from home or winding down for the evening, Winston wants nothing more than to be close by, soaking up affection and offering his quiet companionship.<br/><br/>Because he’s such a sensitive soul, new environments and fast-paced situations can feel overwhelming. But with patience, structure, and love, Winston opens up and truly shines. He’s currently thriving in his foster home, where he continues to build on the confidence and manners he learned while training with Guiding Canines. He’s a total gentleman!<br/><br/>Winston gets along well with other dogs and is cat-friendly too. That said, he’s not a fan of chaos—so a calm home with adults or older kids (10+) is best.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will love you unconditionally and never leave your side, Winston just might be the one. <br/><br/>Ready to meet your new best friend?
