Winston is a 7-year-old Great Dane in Claremont, CA, who needs $2,000 for Removal of Cancerous Tumors.

Mr. Winston came into our lives in November of 2021. Available through an incredible rescue named Hank’s Legacy, we scheduled a meet and greet with his foster family, and within a week of that visit, he came to our home. We just fell in love with him. From his bright blue eyes to his adorable silliness, we knew he was perfect for us. We love him dearly, and so does his doggy brother, Lennon.

Winston is a character! He just must have his bed made for him & when his blanket is fresh from the dryer on a chilly night, he is most happy. He gives the cutest head tilts & the best big dog leans. He prances on his walks & can run like a greyhound along side of us. He loves everyone & is very sweet with little ones & my very petite mother in law! Winston is like Olaf. He loves warm hugs 💗 💗

Winston is incredibly chill. Thunder & loud noises don’t bother him at all, & has been known to look up into the sky during July 4 to check out the fireworks. He often sleeps with his head falling off his bed & can curl into the smallest ball! He behaves like a loyal steed, standing next to my side, on alert. He loves the sunshine & follows the warmth & light around the family room and backyard.

Winston has squamous cell carcinoma, that creates tumors on and in his belly. Dr. Nichole Weinstein of Arrow Dog & Cat Hospital, feels the main tumor is operable & the little ones on the outside can be frozen off using cryotherapy. This will allow him to have more years with us, and to continue to enjoy his life, pain free & un encumbered by what would eventually become a fatal situation.

With the cost of living increasing & incomes not keeping with the inflation, taking on this surgery would take from our baseline. The mortgage, increasing utilities & trying to help 2 kids with their education shouldn’t take away from the care of our family loved member.
