Owner Info: Winston was found on the side of the road in cold weather, whining and shivering. He is currently being cared for by a lady from a clinic, her mother rescued him and brought him to her. Winston is currently an indoor dog who is crated, he isn't housebroken but is leash trained. Winston is blind and deaf. He will go out to urinate and defecate, but does not hold it if he needs to go. He is a shy and nervous dog and does not like to be touched over his hips. They suspect he has pain from arthritis. He seems to be doing much better now, he has been with them for about two weeks. Winston has cataracts in both eyes, he can see shadows but not well. He could possibly have cancer, his calcium levels are high which could be an indication of lymphoma. Winston is a sweet boy. He is an old man that someone dumped on the side of the road to die - cold, blind, deaf, hungry and alone. Since he has been at the clinic he is alert, has a great appetite and even likes to be petted some. He can be a grumpy old man at times. They are just hoping to find someone that will offer him hospice, until the time comes that he can no longer function.
