Meet Winston! Sweet, Gentle, and Ready for His Forever Home
Winston (formerly Duri) traveled all the way from South Korea in May 2026 to find his perfect match. While he was known for his confident personality back home, adjusting to a brand-new country has made him a bit timid and easily spooked. He is an incredibly soft soul who is growing more brave and confident every single day. At his core, Winston is an absolute cuddle bug just waiting for the right family to help his inner "good boy" truly shine.

Winston will thrive best in a calm, quiet, and consistent environment where he can settle in at his own pace.
