Winston is a handsome, 2 yr old Havanese, mixed possibly with ShihTzu, who weighs 17 lbs.   He has a very big, lovable personality.  Winston is smart and pays attention to everything going on in the household. He is outgoing and friendly. Winston is playful, active and athletic and is doing very well on housetraining and leash walking.  Although Winston is active, he is snuggly and likes being held like a baby.  He is high energy and needs a home where he can get plenty of exercise and playtime.  His new family should be one who enjoys and takes daily vigorous walks and provides a lot of engaging stimulation. Winston would do best being an only dog. He doesn't seem to be able to read other dogs' cues.  Winston wants to be wherever his foster family is and tends to park himself under foot, so he can be a trip hazard.   Winston arrived at a rural shelter as a stray so matted that we chose to sedate him to groom him for his comfort.  His coat has now grown back beautifully and is low maintenance and low shed. Winston was very cooperative during his last grooming. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME (NO YOUNG CHILDREN) WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD FOR WINSTON'S ADOPTIVE HOME.  The secure fence must be 4ft (preferably 5 feet because he is a jumper) or higher, with gaps no greater than 2 1/2 inches and attached to the home. This is a requirement to adopt from Hart-2-Heart Rescue.  An invisible fence, enclosed patio, terrace or deck, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 40 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT.  No exceptions.   We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, North Carolina to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee:  $500
