Winston is a 2-month-old Collie/Poodle Mix in Concord, OH, who needs $2,000 for Parvovirus Treatment.

We adopted him and gave him the name Winston because we've always wanted to have a dog with that name. We like "old man" names for dogs - especially if they have a beard! We instantly fell in love with his pink nose and unique markings. His eyes have a little blue in them too - so he'd match our family. He is so sweet and snuggly with the softest fur.

Winston loves his big Grey cuddle bed - and when he lays in it you can barely see him because he camouflages right in! We was already starting to house train and crate train so well. He loves this little sqeaky blue dinosaur we got him and his tug of war rope - you could tell he will be a good tug of war player.

Winston loves the kids. You can already tell he is going to do so well with a house full of children. He loves to snuggle and give puppy kisses. When he looks up at you with his blue eyes and pink nose it's nearly impossible to not fall in love. We need him to come home to us so we can enjoy more snuggles and play time with him.

Winston has Parvovirus which can be fatal without proper ongoing treatment. When hospitalized their chances of surviving can rise to 90% Winston has shown signs to us to make us think he can fight this. He has been at the veterinary hospital since Thanksgiving day. It's been a traumatic and emotional time but we believe he can fight this so he can come home.

Unfortunately this is just an unexpected, major expense, and we don't have enough set aside for this emergency. At this point we have invested so much financially and emotionally that we don't want to give up and let go of everything we have done so far.
