Winston

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]Winston – Rotherham 2years 10months Male Dachshund cross Staffy, Brindle Smooth Coat. Not Neutered Adoption fee £400 You might look at Winston and think, “that’s an unusual looking dachshund.” You would be right. He is a truly unique mix of a long dachshund body and a gorgeous, wide Staffordshire Bull Terrier face. To us, he is absolutely perfect just the way he is. But beneath that handsome, striking exterior is a sensitive soul who has already known far too much heartbreak in his short life. At not even three years old, Winston found himself facing the ultimate injustice through no fault of his own. Following an incident in his previous home where he felt the need to defend himself, he bit a child and was tragically scheduled to be euthanised. We refused to let his story end there. Stepping in urgently, The Red Foundation brought him into our family, determined to give him the second chance and the forever love he so desperately deserves. Because of his past, Winston carries some emotional scars. He is a very nervous boy who is easily overwhelmed by the world around him. In the short time he has been with us, we have seen just how deeply he relies on the company of other dogs to build his confidence. When he gets over-excited, he can display some humping behaviours, but we know this stems from anxiety and overstimulation. He truly needs a calm, adult-only home with a steady, patient resident dog who can show him the ropes, offer reassurance, and help this shy boy finally step out of his shadow. Winston may not be the flawless, easy companion everyone thinks they want, but he is the companion who needs love the most. He has a reservoir of untapped potential just waiting for the right person to unlock it. You will never be alone in this journey either; The Red Foundation will provide full, ongoing behavioural support to ensure Winston thrives. If you have a quiet home and a big heart, you could be the person who changes Winston’s world forever.
