Meet Winston
Winston is a 2.5 year old male Mini Poodle who weighs in at 13 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $600. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Winston is a gentle, shy soul with the softest eyes and the sweetest heart. At 2½ years old, he’s still learning the ropes of the world outside of a puppy mill—but what he lacks in confidence, he makes up for in pure affection.
He absolutely loves to cuddle, especially with his foster brothers, and can often be found snuggled up with them on the couch or stretched out in a sunny spot. He’s a big fan of naps, windows, and standing guard over the neighborhood from his favorite lookout spot (with his backup snuggle squad, of course). Winston will do best with another dog present to learn from and to play with.
Winston is working hard on potty training in his foster home and making great progress! He has learned to go both #1 & #2 outside and is using potty pads inside if he can't hold it. He will need a patient home that’s ready to help him continue this great progress at his own pace. He’s shy at first, but very curious and eager to be loved. Once he trusts you, he’ll be your loyal shadow.
If you’re looking for a quiet, cuddly, and gentle companion who’s still blossoming into his best self, Winston just might be your guy.
Winston is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
