Winston

My story

WHAT A HANDSOME GUY! Winston is a possible yorkie and poodle mix ("Yorkie Poo") who came to us as a stray in an unkempt condition. His coat was very matted and had to be shaved. Unfortunately, he has tested positive for heartworms and our rescue cannot return him . We are committed to his care and treatment plans. Winston is a very sweet boy who is playful with other dogs and can entertain himself. He hardly barks and is housetrained, using the kitty door. He is calm when meeting new people. He does not know he is "sick" as he is still active and playful. He will be a great dog for a senior person. Winston has TONS of love to give and he truly deserves the best life from this point onwards. He is being cared for with a foster mom, in a private home with a backyard to relax in. He just finished oral antibiotics and his first treatment will be on April 18, followed by 30 days of restricted activity. His second and last treatment will be May 18, followed by restricted activity again. In fact, after his second treatment, he will be adoptable to the right family who can and will continue on with his aftercare for another month. Winston truly needs all the love and attention he never fully experienced. We hope that you will be that lasting family for him. Austin, TX area adoptions preferred. Winston's adoption fee of $350.00 includes his vet exam, vaccinations, fecal test, wormer, heart worm test, preventative, heart worm treatments, neuter, dental, microchip, and grooming.
