Looking for forever home; Kamloops SPCA pet of the week

KAMLOOPS – This Great Dane at the Kamloops SPCA was found a stray and no one came looking for him.

Winston is a friendly and outgoing dog, a media release says.

He gets excited about long walks and outings. Winston also knows basic commands, and walks nicely on a leash.

This six-year-old dog likes to be with people so may get anxious when left alone. He will need to get used to spending time alone, slowly, a few minutes at a time.

Winston is currently awaiting dental surgery and his neuter, so he won’t be ready to go until after he has recovered. Neuter surgery generally has a recovery period of about two weeks.

Winston is looking for a guardian who can spend lots of time with him.

For more information about Winston contact the staff at the Kamloops SPCA. His animal ID number is 474237.

Visit the shelter's webpage for more information such as location, adoption fees and hours of operation.
