Winston

3-5 year old male poodle
Winston was an owner surrender. Sweet little buddy needs someone to love. Ideally, Winston needs someone who is retired or works from home. No surprise that he has a little separation anxiety. Typical of a poodle, he likes to "talk" when he sees something you should know about :) He also "talks" a lot with new people until he gets to know them.
