About Winston
Introducing Winston, the chill and sweet-natured canine companion who's ready to melt your heart. Winston is a "velcro dog," always eager to be by your side and shower you with affection. His loving nature makes him the perfect partner for anyone looking for a loyal and devoted friend.
Winston's calm demeanor and easygoing attitude mean he doesn't require too much exercise, making him a great choice for a house with an older couple or a quiet household. He's food-motivated, making training easy! He may have spent much of his life outdoors, but Winston now dreams of becoming an indoor couch potato, snuggling up beside you for some well-deserved relaxation.
With his timid disposition, Winston takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people, but once he understands he's safe and loved, he reveals his sweet and affectionate side. Winston gets along well with another chill dog. However, he prefers his own space and would rather not have to deal with high-energy young pups or large crowds of people.
Winston also has a special sensitivity to thunder and storms, having received medication in the past to help him manage stress in those situations. Of course, with your love and reassurance, he will surely find comfort and security, knowing he doesn't have to face any storm on his own.
Winston is an easy-to-manage and walk kind of dog, making your walks together a peaceful experience. If you're searching for a gentle and loyal companion who simply wants to be by your side through thick and thin, Winston could be the perfect addition to your family. He'll cherish the quiet, loving home you've always dreamed of sharing with a wonderful canine friend.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for November
10am-1pm
Sat 1st
Sat 15th

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
