My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Winston has stubborn streak and would need a confident pet parent.
Raised with a large dog, Winston sometimes feels competitive and jealous over attention. He can live with other dogs. However, it’s crucial to introduce pets carefully and supervise playtime to ensure play doesn’t escalate to aggression.
His diet should be one of high-quality and scheduled feedings otherwise he will over eat. He is very treat motivated and smart.
Walks fine on a leash. House broken but while adjusting to a new home, new smells, new routines, it would be important to take him out a lot and watch carefully the first few days.
He is also crate trained but he hates being away from his person and will scream.
He does have a high prey drive, and can’t live in a home with cats.
This kiddo will also need a secured fenced area , as he will catch any vehicle he sees moving. He does love going on car rides but should be restrained while you are driving, so does get on your lap while driving.
Winston has a lot of energy but walks should be short especially on hot or humid days, as it can be more difficult for them to breathe properly and they are prone to overheating.
As with any Frenchie, facial folds on a daily basis .
Winston came to us with a chronic ear infection. Ears should be checked regularly; current his ears are being treated. He may need his teeth cleaned soon.
As far as personality, he is Hilarious and entertaining personality. Loves catching a ball, rolling around on the sofa and jumping with joy.
He has been tossed around a lot in the past month, but learning adaptability skills.
He came to us as an angry elf, but hoping if adopted before Christmas he can become a holly jolly boy.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Fill out a questionnaire. We will get back
With you with 72 hours and let u know if we feel it is a good match and if not why. Once the questionnaire is approved we move on to a meet and greet. Most of our screening is done “behind the scenes” but if we have concerns or questions about fencing, we may schedule a visit to the home to ensure the home is safe and dog proof. Each pet is treated on an individual basis and we feel each home may able to provide different needs. We take each case, on individually and believe in an open conversation and adoption process

Go meet their pets

Upond approval, a scheduled meet and greet may take place at rustic Rover. To ensure the safety and protection of our pets both personally and professionally all visits must make an appointment. Rustic Rover is a family owned facility which resides on the family farm
