About Winston

Adoption Fee: $350
Golden Retriever / Lab
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Winston would prefer a quieter home with no other dogs/cats/young children. The unpredictability of the noise and stimulation from kids gives him anxiety. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and people who are home often or work from home. Winston needs a strong, confident and capable handler. He is dog reactive which means he can lunge and jump on walks, so his owner needs to be able to reign in a 85 lb dog. Winston is fully house trained and knows most basic commands. He has had prior experience in training (1:1 sessions and group classes) and really thrives in an environment where he can learn and be rewarded. He will do really anything for a treat and positive praise! He walks decently on a leash, but needs some refreshers on a 'heel' command where he walks next to you instead of pulling ahead. Once he tires out, he walks nice and slow. Winston is used to being home with his people so he gets slightly anxious when he knows you are leaving. He will quickly settle and wait patiently by the front door/window/couch for you to come home. Winston's typical day looks like a late morning walk, nap time, an afternoon walk, and a nap. He enjoys sunbathing outside when it is nice out. He loves to play fetch and chew on his benebones. Winston has a mix of lazy-couch potato energy when he is inside but once its time for his walk or game of fetch, he is ready to go. He will typically tell you when he is ready! He is pretty active for his age. Winston loves to snooze outside in the sun and really thrives around water - he would stay in the lake all day if he could. He plays hide and seek with treats and likes to use his nose and brain for stimulation. He carries around socks in the morning when everybody wakes up - never chews them, just likes to hold on.

Winston is very food motivated, and takes a very active role in the kitchen while meals are being prepared. He will never jump up on counters. Winston is up to date on all vaccines. He is neutered and microchipped. He takes a few medications: allergy medication, a probiotic and a medication to support his thyroid. Other than that, he is in very healthy shape. Winston requires a prescription dog food due to food allergies to most proteins. Winston is a loveable, goofy, smart boy. He is a pleaser, and will do just about anything to make his people happy. He is wonderful in the car and loves to go on adventures.
