Winchester ~ 5yo German Shepherd (On Trial 8/3/20)

This dapper gent is Winchester. Winchester is a 5 year old German Shepherd. Through no fault of his own, Dog Rescue Newcastle are helping him find a new home; Winchester’s owner has a physical injury that means they sadly can’t meet his exercise needs.

Winchester is a very friendly loving boy who loves to say hello. Looking for a water baby? Because Winchester just loves the water in any form – creeks, dams, troughs, puddles! He will jump straight in and flop down.

This handsome boy has good manners and has basic commands; he sits for his food and is a smart boy who would pick up further training easily. He can be excitable at first on the lead but a good harness would assist with this.

He has been used to being with his owner most of the day so having someone at home who only works part time would be good. Being a big boy, he would be best placed with teenage children. He is used to sleeping inside and would like to be fully included in his new family's like.

Winchester is keen to meet all dogs but would be best suited to another calm dog. He loves the ladies so he would prefer to live with a female more than a male.

Winchester lives with cats and likes to shower them with love (which the cats do not always return). He may be suited to living with cats, but we would always recommend a slow introduction.

Winchester’s home should have secure fencing, although he is not an agile boy… in fact he may need a lift into the car!
