My name is Winston!

**Meet Winston!**

Meet Winston, your future running, hiking, and adventure buddy! This energetic yet well-behaved boy is ready to hit the trails with you, and we believe he’ll settle beautifully into a loving home. While Winston has some energy, we think he’ll become more of a medium-energy dog once he’s away from the shelter environment. He’s attentive and responsive to his humans, making him a joy to train. Treat motivated and eager to learn, Winston already knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and roll over! His enthusiasm for training sessions means you’ll bond quickly as you work together.

Although he may initially be hesitant about getting in the car, Winston rides exceptionally well once he’s on board. He’s also highly toy motivated, which will aid in his training and keep him engaged. While he doesn’t love baths, he’s tolerant and allows you to wash him while clearly expressing his displeasure—just look at that adorable “woe is me” face!

After some playtime and once he’s settled from kennel stress, Winston is all about cuddles and affection. He’d thrive in a home with elementary-aged children or older, due to his size and goofy personality. He has shown positive interest in canine companions, but has not yet been dog tested at the shelter. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.

To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
