My personality

Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

Meet Winston! A handsome German Shepherd born on April 1st with a big personality and even bigger potential. Though he didn’t complete his police training, he’s incredibly intelligent, energetic, protective, and bursting with energy, making him the perfect fit for an active and experienced owner. His favorite things in the world are his ball and treats, and he’s guaranteed to make you laugh with his goofy, playful antics.

However, Winston hasn’t had an easy past—he was sadly abused and now needs he needs someone patient and
understanding, ideally with experience in German Shepherds or similar breeds. While he does have some behavioral quirks, with love, structure, and consistent training, he’s sure to thrive and become an even better companion. He’s protective and food-motivated, always eager to please, and would love a home with a secure yard to burn off his energy.

If you’re ready to give Winston the loving home he deserves, he’ll repay you with loyalty, laughs, and endless love.
