For those of you who follow our page, you probably remember Winston. We posted him a few weeks back with a plea for someone to open their home and heart to foster or adopt him to get him out of the kennel, where he has resided for ONE YEAR.
Here's Winston's story.
In December 2023, CPAA was asked, really begged, to pull Winston from death row at Philly ACCT for a woman who wanted to adopt him. So we did. Within 36 hours, the woman told us it wasn't working. With no place for Winston to go, the kennel that CPAA works with said they had room for him.
Despite numerous posts about Winston throughout the year, and posting him on PetFinder, there was no interest. Finally, at the end of October, prior adopters from CPAA's HOPE Dogs program offered to foster Winston.
He was doing well in his foster home until a vet visit a few weeks ago at which it was discovered that he had an ear infection and a hot spot, both of which required medication. At the vet visit, Winston also got all of his vaccines updated.
Winston clearly wasn't feeling his best after the vet visit, and when he got back to the foster's home, he growled at their six-year-old daughter, so back to the kennel he went.
Since Winston has been back, he hasn't been doing well. Despite working with one of CPAA's trainers several times each week, he's having a hard time re-adjusting to kennel life. Heck, wouldn't you if you had been in a home for almost a month, then landed back in a kennel?
WE ARE BEGGING for someone to give Winston a chance. Here's the unicorn we're looking for:
1. A quiet home where Winston will be able to decompress and re-adjust to life in a home.
2. A home with no small children.
3. A home with no other dogs or with one dog maximum.
4. A home with someone patient and willing to work with Winston and CPAA's trainer to re-acclimate him to life in a home.
If you are not this person, please SHARE this post so that we can find someone who is.
No dog is perfect. Those of us in rescue know that. But we also know that Winston is perfect for someone. We know that someone is out there. PLEASE help us find Winston's someone.
