Winston Border Collie & Shepherd Mix Boiling Springs, PA

Please read our Core Values prior to applying at www.furryfriendsnetwork.com/adopt/our-expectations.

Update 5/16/2024. Winston is now about 10 months old and a lively spirited boy. His breed traits are becoming more evident, and he definitely has some shepherd and border collie in him. With his high energy level, he needs plenty of exercise, yet he does settle nicely after some romps in the yard and walks in the neighborhood. He bonds very closely with his family members and can be protective of them. He seems to do best with older children and adults, so will not be placed in a home with young children. He’s a talker and uses his voice fairly often, sometimes barking, but mostly as though he is just chatting with moans and groans and funny sounds. Definitely an interesting boy. And always something new to learn about him!

Posted 1/25/2024. Sweet and energetic and an all-around amazing boy. This describes Winston, a friendly and outgoing six-month old pup who has the cutest pair of stand up ears that you've ever seen. Winston is a border collie and shepherd mix. He has wonderful qualities of both breeds. And he is quite handsome. At six months of age he weighs about 45 pounds and probably still has some growing to do. He loves people and that is evident in every interaction with him. He responds well to commands and will charm and win over everyone he meets. He also is very playful and submissive with other dogs and likes to run off his energy with them. No one can quite catch him as he dashes around the yard with a joyful spirit. He is an intelligent and sensitive dog as well. Winston loves to go for walks and is good on a leash. He is also crate trained. If you are looking for a best friend who will be loyal and affectionate, this is the boy for you. Because Winston is still young and needs attention and care, he is looking for a home where his family is not away for more than four hours in a day. He is the kind of dog that can win a human’s heart very quickly and hold onto it forever.
