Adoption fee £300

You might look at Winston and think, “that’s an unusual looking dachshund.” You would be right. He is a truly unique mix of a long dachshund body and a gorgeous, wide Staffordshire Bull Terrier face. To us, he is absolutely perfect just the way he is. But beneath that handsome, striking exterior is a sweet soul who has already known far too much heartbreak in his short life.

At not even three years old, Winston found himself facing the ultimate injustice through no fault of his own. Following an incident in his previous home where he felt the need to defend himself, he bit a child and was tragically scheduled to be euthanised. We refused to let his story end there. Stepping in urgently, The Red Foundation brought him into our family, determined to give him the second chance and the forever love he so desperately deserves.

Since coming in to rescue Winston has really started to flourish and he is a fan favourite with all of the kennel staff, he’s even had some sneaky trips to the local pub with them! He’s a cheeky chappy who never fails to make everyone laugh with his antics. Winston is due to be neutered as he does display some humping behaviours when he gets over-excited, this is usually towards other dogs because he absolutely loves his fellow canine buddies. 

Winston is a sweet boy who will be the best companion in the right home. He’s got so much love to give and we can’t wait to see him continue to thrive.
