Winston- Special needs
 

Ok, so I know I mad a thread for all the yorkie/yorkie type dogs that I see at Operation Kindness (Carrollton, TX) but this guy has grabbed my heart big time so I figured he needed his own thread.
Winston was pulled from the city shelter- he was a bit of a mess but happy and friendly enough. We are estimating him to be 2 years old. I fell in love with him when I shaved him down- even my own yorkies are not that great for grooming. He just sat there and let me do everything! He didn't put up any fuss and when I was done he gave me kisses :)
Winston is a playful little guy with a happy little spunk about him, I think he would be great with kids and he is a bigger yorkie- probably 12 pounds(he also needs to gain weight)
His special needs is his hips. He is going to be looked at by the vet Monday and we will know more but for now we are thinking possible hip dysplasia. Hopefully he will not need surgery but he will probably be prone to arthritis later on. If he does need surgery he might need someone to foster him. This is a really sweet dog who deserves a forever home.
Here's some pictures- the first one is when he first came in. I love his one ear folded over!

Here's the website to the shelter he is at:

AAAAWWWW he is so cute!! Let us know what the vet says about his hips.

Oh my he is such a cutie. I hope he finds a home soon

What a handsome boy :) I hope he finds his forever home soon!

Sorry in the delay of an update- poor Winston has still not had his x-rays :(
Is there any one in the Dallas area that would be willing to foster this baby? I hate to see him sitting here waiting. He is getting depressed and hardly eating. I could fast track you to be a foster home- pm me if intrested.
thanks!

Oh, he is so cute! I hope he gets into a foster home/forever home soon! He looks like he will make a great pet. Such a sweet face.

Prayers needed for Winston! He is not doing well :( He has not been eating and is down to 8 pounds. If he doesnt start eating by wendsday they might need to put him on i.v. They can't xray him because they are worried about giving him sedatives. I am taking him home until then :(

sending prayers for Winston. He is such a cutie:)

He is adorable I hope he is doing ok.....any update?

he is being treated for pancreatitis and doing better, I hang out with him before I leave everyday and he is always so happy. It is going to be hard to find him a home though if he's got a sensitive stomach AND hip dysplasia (still no x-rays but I'd be surprised if it wasn't) He is such a great dog though, very well behaved, I can't imagine him sitting in the shelter for long once he's available- we will have to see. Thanks everyone for your well wishes!

I hope he finds his forever home real soon// he sure is a handsome guy

Thank you for the update. I hope he finds a loving forever soon <3

Oh what a sweetie! I would foster him in a minute if I were closer! Prayers to him though!

Hes adorable! I would foster him if I was closer!
