Hi My Name Is Winston; Well actually my registered name is Sir Winston Scotty. I originally came from Newport Beach....hence the 'Sir' was appropriate.....teehee. I am an active neutered, male Westie. I have lived my entire life in a very loving, nurturing home. It saddens my owner who has severe neuroapathy, loss of sensation and motor function in her hands, because she can no longer care for me properly. You see, I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and I need two insulin shots per day. It's really no big deal, unless you can't use your hands. Also my owner can't give me my daily drops for dry eye. Just two drops one time daily but my Mom just can't do this anymore......I am sad and she is too. She feels like she has failed me.

I was the picture of good health prior to being diagnosed with Diabetes. I am really doing fine, with the shots and still have that Westie spunk. I just love to go for walks and would enjoy a doggie door and yard of my own. I have always been a 'mostly' indoor doggie, who is very loving, affectionate and will follow you around all day long, unless of course you pick me up and put me on your lap....what a good idea glad you thought of it! Gosh I only weigh 19.5 lbs. I like children, my previous owner had four grandkids. They used to pet me and scratch my tummy.....I liked that.

I am up up to date with all my shots (Rabies, DHPP, Corona and Bordetella). I am housetrained, leash trained and doggie bed knowledgeable.....ha, ha. And my owner recently had me groomed so I look handsome. So....all I really need now is that special home where I can give all my love to my new 'forever' family. I want to live out my life with the same love that I knew in my previous home. I will give you love forever if you will make me part of your loving home and family. How about it, huh?.

 

Hi Westie Rescue of CA and Wonderful Volunteers,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in trying to find a home for Winston.  I just wanted to give you an update and let you know that he is doing fine.  His sugar is pretty much under control (although the last vet visit a couple of weeks ago was a little high).  He's gained back his weight and is now up to about 22.5 pounds and the dry eye is gone.  I got the opportunity to move and live in a house, so now he has a wonderful yard!  And he had lost a lot of hair because Mom couldn't care for him properly.  But with proper medication, diet and exercise it's now growing back so he looks a million times better.

I just wanted to say thank you.  It was very reassuring to know that if I couldn't take Winston (which I thought was the case), there was an organization there who would love and nurture him and try to find him a good home.  Winston thanks you, too!!

Best regards,
Megan
