Winslow

Description:

Winslow has settled into his foster home very well. He checked out well with the vet and has teeth that look great after a recent cleaning. He had some skin issues that have cleared up but routine follow-up may be necessary.

Since in his foster home, Winslow has gotten better at mixing with other dogs in general. He does well with smaller dogs and when he meets any other dogs off leash.

With all people Winslow has met he has been the perfect gentleman. He’s affectionate but not overly so. He would love to sleep with his adopting family and consistently tries to slip in with his foster parents. He usually starts out on his dog bed but often when his foster mom wakes up in the morning, Winslow’s in the bed! He’s a true cuddler at other times and with other people too. One evening when friends were over watching movies on a Friday night, Winslow invited himself into the oversized armchair and curled right up beside one of the ladies……..even though he knows he’s not supposed to! Hey……..it was Friday night!!

Winslow is a young at heart senior. He believes in sharing good times and soft surroundings with his people. He definitely does not act his age and, given his excellent health, will have years ahead of him to pondering “growing up.” If you have a light heart to match Winslow’s and extra popcorn on movie night, don’t miss inviting Winslow to join you…………

Original:

After nine years of living with his original family and being very protective of his female owner, a new baby came into the picture. Winslow was not getting a lot of attention and his possessiveness did not bode well with a new baby in the house. So, Winslow was relinquished to MAESSR so he could have a new family without a baby in it.

Winslow is a very good boy but as an alpha he does try to assert his dominance. There have been a few grumbling incidents between the resident dogs and him, but these dogs are on the submissive side so they acquiesce to him. If his forever home currently has a dog, it would have to be submissive. He’s reportedly good with cats, having lived with one for eight years and they were buddies.

Winslow is a total sweetheart with people and his house manners are very good. He doesn’t counter surf, but he does get on the furniture and wants to sleep in bed with his foster parents! Winslow’s water bowl needs to be on an absorbent mat since he is a very messy drinker. A boy can’t help it with those big lips! He is very good on the leash and knows “sit” and “paw.” Winslow’s response to “come” depends what’s going on. If there’s another dog around, he’s totally oblivious to that command.

Winslow is totally housetrained and will go to the door to indicate he needs to go out. He and the resident dogs have full reign of the house when the foster family is out and they have been fine, just sleeping all day. Winslow LOVES the water. He’ll sit in the shower stall and jump into the bathtub just to snoop around. Winslow is also an awesome car rider and will try to get on your lap if you’d let him. He just needs to be reminded of who has the driver’s license.

Watch for more on Winslow after he visits the vet and settles into his foster home. This sweet gentleman is going to make a wonderful companion for some lucky family.
