Winston

Winston is one of two dogs we rescued from a horrific cruelty situation in West Port, New York. He was transported to Va Beach to RightOn Training to decompress and learn how to be a dog again. Winston is a super energetic, highly alert, "can't wait to do the next thing" kind of dog. He would stay outside all day if you let him, and as long as there are enough squirrels, rabbits, and possums to chase around! Beware, this boy can jump, so you better have a 6+ foot fence AND or be supervising him at all times while outside! Winston is searching for a family just as active as he is. Although his paperwork says he is a Lab mix, he is believed to possibly be mixed with a Japanese Terrier or another highly active, very independent working breed type dog. He is currently only being fed once a day to help with his housebreaking issues. Although he does react to strange dogs and people he sees out in the community, he has gotten along with the few he has been introduced to while in rehab training with proper introductions.

Ideal Home

Winston needs an 8 ft fence or a home where he will be leash walked. A six-foot fence is not high enough. He is a great dog but needs the right human.

Ongoing Health

Winston's Rabies vaccination is good until December 2027. All other vaccines are up to date until December 2025. His estimated DOB is November 2022, which would put him just over 2 years old, and this little guy weighs in at 51 lbs.

Training & Support

Winston knows the following commands well: Sit, Crate, Down, Let's Go, and Settle (still working on). He is currently only being fed once a day to help with his housebreaking issues. He does react to strange dogs and people he sees out in the community but has gotten along with the few he has been introduced to while in rehab training with proper introductions.
