Winston
Cocker Spaniel
Adoption Pending!
Distinguished old gentleman seeking gainful employment as a “Chill Buddy” in a relaxed, slow paced, easy going work atmosphere. I am passionate about my work and dedicated to quiet companionship with my human.
Skills
- Quiet, mellow, loyal
- Get along with others, including children, (non aggressive) dogs and cats
Two speeds: 1st gear and park
- Special talent: finding and curling up near my human’s feet. It's important that I stay nearby, so that it is clear that I am on the job.
- Favorite pastimes: Netflix binge watching, napping, short outdoor strolls
- Athletic abilities: Climb up and down stairs (with guidance) to go outdoors for a brief meander.
Expected compensation
*Rubs, scratches, lots of petting and treats are never refused
References June 2023-present
*Foster home; quickly adjusted to new surroundings and eagerly began job responsibilities with ease. Although he is blind and can’t hear well, he makes up for it with a full, loving heart and a mediocre sniffer. Winston is very low maintenance and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He is truly a pleasure and deserves your consideration for a loving, quiet companion.
