His story: Winston was transported from Georgia to Last Hope K9 Rescue in April 2013 as a 5-month-old puppy. He was quickly adopted and then returned three months later for being too big and boisterous for his new family.

His ideal forever home: An active and dog-experienced person, couple, or family who can devote their time and energy to providing him with proper structure, guidance, exercise, and love.

Other details prospective adopters should know: Winston is at his best when he can be kept calm. Although too much commotion can over-stimulate him, he has learned to tolerate these situations with the help of a trainer.
