In the shelter’s words

Meet Winston (OH): proof that sometimes the "rejects"are actually the jackpots. At just 6-8 weeks old (as of mid-October 2026), Winston was turned away by a breeder because of a congenital heart defect. Winston's response? "Their loss!" Because this gorgeous chocolate-brown Cavapoo is busy being absolutely irresistible. With his teddy bear looks, soulful eyes, and puppy charm turned all the way up to maximum, Winston is ready to win over everyone he meets. He loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has already mastered the art of making humans stop whatever they're doing just to admire how cute he is. Winston doesn't spend time worrying about labels or imperfections. He's too busy planning important puppy activities like collecting belly rubs, making new friends, zooming around the house, and perfecting his snuggle technique. His cardiac issue (which will soon be surgically repaired) certainly doesn't define him. If anything, it just means he has a little extra love packed into that tiny heart of his. If you've been searching for a sweet, adorable, chocolate-coated best friend with enough personality to keep you smiling every day, Winston is ready to report for duty. Winston's message to future adopters: "I may have been rejected once, but I have a feeling my forever family is about to make the best decision of their lives."
