Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***A Day in the Life of Winston, the Super Dawg:
Winston, here. Thought I’d share a few details about myself. I’m a 6 year old Pointer/German Wired Haired Mix. I am mostly black with white paws and a cute white patch on my chest. I am a super sweet, laid back boy.
I usually get up around 7. I sleep through the night and snuck into my foster mama’s bed one night. She tried to put me back on my nice big dog bed but I snuck back when she was sleeping. I don’t take up much space so she let me stay. I go outside, but my hooman has to be with me for me to go potty. Sometimes she even has to go on the grass with me. I am a traveling pooper, leaving my presents across my fenced in back yard.
I have to take two pills every morning. They are wrapped in liver sausage and put in the back of my throat so I don’t spit them out. After my eyes are cleaned, I get eye drops.
We wait a bit to let the medicine kick in before being fed. I know my routine and will drink from the bottle like a champ. It usually takes 15-20 minutes for me to finish. It is best for clean up if I eat on a tile or wood floor.
My day is kinda boring. I sleep on the couch. I sleep on my foster mama’s bed. I sleep on one of the two dog beds in the house. Get the idea? I go outside every couple of hours. The other dog in the house is a big boy. We love to play outside. He likes to chase balls. When he gives me a turn, I will pounce on the ball since I can’t grab it with my mouth. I also love to pounce on squeeker toys. I love to sniff the whole yard.
If my foster mom has to go out, I am left in the house with Scooter (the other dog). We don’t get into much trouble unless she leaves something on the counter that smells like it should be investigated. When she comes home I jump like a baby goat does to show how happy I am. I can bark, but don’t do it often.
I usually have my lunch around 1:30 ish. After a bit, I go for a walk around the neighborhood. I walk well on a leash. Sometimes I am unsure of the sights and sounds but am learning it is a safe place to explore.
If it’s too cold out or there’s wet weather, I go exploring in the garage. There are lots of things to smell and explore.
I have dinner around 7. I get my face washed after every meal. I get my second dose of eye drops.
I usually go to bed between 10-11pm after I go outside.
Most days are the same. If I have to ride in the car, I am hooked up to a seatbelt. I will lay down or look out the window.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Lets address the elephant in the room...You see, I have several auto immune problems, one is MMM, which has restricted my mouth to about 1 inch fully opened- it is for life ;( But my rescuers and fosters have figured out the very BEST way to feed me.... check out my video!! I also have chronic dry eye and will be on cyclosporine eye drops for life. I also get skin "funky-ness" and am on meds to prevent that as well. My rescuers absolutely ADORE me because I know nothing but LOVE and FUN! I am a GREAT DOG with a ZEST for life and playtime... I promise, you will soon forget my health issues once you meet me! The rescue can help with meds as well, ANYTHING to find me the exact right home!
Love, Winston
I am looking for a homebody family and I am so so so cute and happy you cannot HELP but love me!!
Local only adoption $200 (in Texas)

Additional adoption info
Adoption application required. Adoption Fee is $200-350 local (Local is state of Texas) $500-800 for out of state adoptions (includes transport fees).. The higher prices for Purebred and/or highly desirable pets. Adoption application, adoption contract, return/foster agreement if dog doesn't work out in home.
We work hard to place dogs in the right homes, if the adoption does not work out and we have room to take the dog back into the rescue, we will. However, the sheer number of needy animals in Bexar county TX +usually means we become full quickly after the dog is adopted. So, in those cases we will post the animal, help the adopter screen applicants and help facilitate finding another home for the dog.
