R251 000 066 Winston, a one-year-old miniature Dachshund who is ready for a fresh start and a family of his own. He is a sweet, affectionate little dog who is happiest when he is close to his people. Winston came from a farm near Singleton where he lived outdoors with two other dogs. He was not getting the attention or companionship he needed and would often dig under the fence and wander, with neighbours regularly bringing him home. Since coming into care and living inside with his carers, he has completely settled. With love, routine, and a bit of guidance, he has shown what a wonderful little dog he truly is. He is playful, social, and very trainable. He loves belly rubs, curling up beside you on the lounge, sleeping close at night, going for walks, visiting the dog park, travelling in the car and playing with his toys. Mostly, he loves being wherever his people are. Winston is crate trained and sleeps happily in his crate at night. His house training is coming along very well, and he is now only having the occasional accident as he continues to learn. He is dog social and would enjoy having another friendly dog for company, although the right individual home is the most important thing. The home Winston is looking for is one with a secure yard, someone who is home more often than not, and plenty of love and companionship. Another friendly dog would be a bonus. Winston has already shown how beautifully he responds when he receives the attention he deserves. We are now looking for someone who will make him a much-loved member of the family for life. *Please read his bio carefully and remember to include as much information as possible when applying to adopt Winston .
