About Winston

Winston is a happy and well-behaved, 11-year-old, 77-pound, male Basenji/Labrador-mix looking for a loving guardian. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Winston lost the home that he shared with his family, a brother dog, and two young children (six and seven) who he lived with since he was rescued as a puppy. He is well-trained, housebroken and loves everyone. He is accustomed to a home with a yard, but he also LOVES leashed walks. He settles down nicely in the home, crate-trained, housebroken. He also loves to play ball. Winston is well-trained in his house manners. He doesn't get on your furniture or jump in your bed. He doesn't grab food off the counter or even beg. He recently went to a pet blessing ceremony at a church in Chicago and got along with everyone he met - kids, adults and other dogs! He has lived as an indoor, much-loved and pampered dog all his life. He does bark at cats, so he may never have lived with any felines. He is healthy senior, neutered, and up-to-date on rabies and distemper, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative. He does have a little arthritis, so although he'll play some ball, he doesn't really like when his back side is touched. His adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits. If you are interested in meeting and possibly fostering or adopting Winston, please contact [email protected] for an adoption application. He is being fostered in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.
