Winston may be 9 years old, but don’t tell him that—he’s too busy playing fetch.
This 12-pound Yorkie has the heart of a much younger dog and a personality that blends playful energy with full-on cuddle mode. He’s the kind of little companion who will happily chase toys around the yard one minute and curl up in your lap the next, completely content just to be close to you.
Why Winston Feels So Special
🐾 9 years old but still playful and energetic
💛 Loves fetch, toys, and active playtime
🏡 Enjoys backyard time and neighborhood walks
🐶 Good with kids and other dogs
🛋️ Affectionate lap dog who loves closeness
Winston is happiest when he’s included in daily life. Whether it’s exploring the yard, joining you on a walk, or following you from room to room, he wants to be part of everything his people are doing.
Once he’s had his fun, he shifts effortlessly into cuddle mode—soaking up attention, settling into your lap, and enjoying the comfort of being near his favorite humans.
His Personality
Winston is playful, social, and deeply people-oriented. He enjoys activity and engagement, but he also has a soft, affectionate side that shines through during quiet moments. He’s crate-tolerant, though he much prefers being near his family whenever possible.
He is currently working on potty training and is expected to continue improving as he adjusts to a consistent routine in a stable home.
What He Is Looking For
✔️ A loving home that enjoys both play and cuddles
✔️ Someone who can provide structure and consistency
✔️ A family willing to continue his potty training journey
✔️ A home where he can be included in daily activities
✔️ Ideally a yard, but mostly just a place where he’s not left out
Winston will benefit from patience as he settles in, but once he feels secure, his sweet, fun-loving personality really comes to life.
Heart of Winston
Winston doesn’t see himself as a senior—he sees himself as your sidekick.
Your walking buddy, your fetch partner, your lap warmer, and your loyal little shadow all in one.
And if you let him, he’ll make every day a little more joyful just by being in it.
