Meet Winston!
Winston is a young, energetic boy looking for an active home ready to help him learn and grow! He'll thrive with plenty of daily exercise, mental enrichment, and ongoing positive reinforcement training.
Winston is still working on his basic manners, impulse control, and patience, especially when food is involved. He's very food-motivated, so appropriate management and positive training around food will be important.
He would also benefit from continued, positive socialization with people and other dogs, with introductions taken slowly and thoughtfully.
Winston is looking for a committed adopter who can provide structure, consistency, and plenty of opportunities to learn. With the right guidance, this enthusiastic boy has lots of potential to shine!

At HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are. All dogs are labelled as small, medium and large breed and cats are labelled as DSH, DMH and DLH based on their characteristics.
***NOTE*** Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets. They will be experiencing a new environment and meeting new people, which means they may not exhibit the same behaviours they did in their foster videos or while in foster care.
