Winston - Maltese Dog for Adoption in Fort Bragg, California

Meet Winston - A Senior Gentleman Looking for His Forever Couch

Winston is a petite 7-lb senior with a big personality and absolutely zero apologies about who he is. His signature move? Stepping directly into his food and water bowls to claim them as his own! At the park, Winston doesn't fetch. He doesn't chase. He walks in circles, surveys his kingdom, and decides when it's time to go home. A true gentleman on his own schedule.

A few things to know about our guy: Winston is a quick learner who knows his name and comes when called. Hes great at the groomers, but doesnt care to be brushed at home. Due to the neglect he endured in his previous life, he has no teeth, but he is absolutely food motivated and loves to eat kibble and dehydrated chicken feet! He does really well with other dogs and currently lives with another maltese at his current fosters home. Winston has separation anxiety, so will probably do best with someone who is retired, works from home, or has another doggy companion. He is housebroken and will pace when needing to go outside, but may have accidents if you're not there to see it.

Were looking for a calm home with a patient human who would adore this slightly grumpy/quirky/toothless, and 100% lovable senior pup. In return, he will quietly and completely steal your heart! Winston is currently in San Jose.
