About Winston

Adoption Fee: $100
American Bulldog
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Winston is a bulldog who pretends to be grumpy but really loves to be loved on, petted and played with. I'm going to be real honest...He is tolerant of children but shouldn't be in a home with them. He is also tolerant of other dogs but shouldn't be in a home with them. No cats. We rescued him from an abusive situation so he struggles with anxiety. The perfect owner would be a low key, older couple or single who will put up with his hair, give him a bath twice a month, feed him lots of treats, and let him cuddle. They also need to understand the effect his abusive past has on him. He sleeps in a kennel. He does well with pee pads on the floor or outside. He will walk on a leash but won't go far. He gets hot spots on his feet 3-4 times a year and had goopy eyes because of cherry eyes (from an earlier stressful life). We're not sure of his age. When we rescued him, we were told he was 2 (but they lied about a lot of things). When we took him to the vet, we found out he's closer to 7. If he feels unsafe and feels trapped, he might be aggressive but offer him a few treats and he'll calm right down. We are very sad to let him go after 2 years. We love him very much. Because of his anxiety around children (which we didn't know until we had our baby), we've decided there's got to be a family that will be a better for him. But we aren't in any rush and will wait for the right home for him. I will answer any questions and will be very open as I had wished when we taking him home.
