Winston is a senior White German Shepherd mix who was saved from death row at the last minute after being found abandoned and emaciated along a creek bed in Sacramento. He has had severe ear infections in both ears, likely for years, which went untreated and one eardrum has ruptured, which is being treated medically and will require surgery. Winston will not be available until after his surgery which is at the end of February. He will be reevaluated a few weeks after that to see if the other ear will need surgery or not. Winston is almost completely deaf as a result of his chronic ear disease and the surgical treatment that he now requires.

Winston thrives on the company of other dogs. He is great in the car, gets along with cats and dogs of all sizes, walks nicely on a leash, and is just a gentle giant in spite of what was probably a lifetime of neglect. He weighs about 95 pounds now as he has already gained most of his weight back.
