MEET WINSTON, a handsome, chill, almost 3-year-old retriever-husky-lab-shepherd mix. Winston is a sweet, sweet boy with a calm, submissive energy. He gets along great with all dogs, and rarely barks (or howls!). With people, Winston is very sociable and affectionate, and he enjoys human companionship. He's not big on toys, but his happiness comes from being with his person. Winston is also great with children over the age of 12, possibly younger. He's never been around super young children, but he's very gentle, and loves to be petted by children on his walks.
Winston was adopted about a year ago but is being returned by his owner because he gets over-excited when playing with the other young dog in the home. He likes to chew when he gets excited during play-time, but otherwise is not a chewer. As a result, Winston would thrive in a home with a mellower, calm dog that matches his energy. He would possibly do fine with cats due to his mellow temperament, but has not been tested with cats.
Ideal Home
Winston would thrive in a home with a mellower, calm dog that matches his energy. He would do best with someone who works from home, is retired or at least is home half of the day. He will do well in an apartment or a house.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Winston is house-trained, crate-trained and understands numerous commands, such as "sit" and "wait". He responds very well to positive reinforcement. He likes to chew when he gets excited during play-time, but otherwise is not a chewer. His current caretaker currently uses a prong collar for walks, but that is definitely not a requirement.
