Winston McDreamy is a 7-year-old Black Labrador in Nashville, TN, who needs $1,800 for CHOP chemotherapy.

I first saw Winston on February 26, 2021. I was actually online doing some research for work and by chance came across the Facebook post about him needing a new home. I fell in love with his cute face and sad eyes. I just knew I had to meet him. I sent a message to arrange a meeting with the family that rescued him. On March 2, 2021 I went to meet him and it was love at 1st sight.

Winston and I have become the best of buds. I work from home & he is the best coworker I could have ever imagined. He loves to go on walks around the apartment complex saying hi to all the other pups. He is super friendly and everyone loves seeing him and his little nubby tail. He loves getting to go to the dog park and get love and pets from anyone. He knows that when we go home though, he is #1.

After losing my job in 2020, I struggled to get back on my feet. I am working a FT job, a PT job & doing grocery delivery to make extra money for his treatments. The 1st 4 treatments were hard to get through financially & he has 12 more to go. I haven't had enough time w/him

Winston was diagnosed with lymphoma on May 20, 2021 at the Nashville Veterinary Specialists. I took him in because he had stopped eating and was very concerned. Dr. Vancil is his oncologist and explained that dogs take well to chemotherapy with this type of cancer. We started treatment the very next day. At this point, I had only had him less than 3 months and told him I wouldn't give up on him.

Winston has come to love his little pill pocket treats that his medicine goes in. He is such a champ at taking his meds since they are wrapped in a yummy chicken flavored treat. He loves to lick the water when I pour it from anything, especially the Brita water filter. He still gets a little scared of thunder/fireworks but is soothed when I wrap him in his little weighted blanket and we snuggle.
