Meet Our Pet of the Week!

Let Winston Win Your Heart

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet-of-the-Week

Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. – Winston the Schnauzer blend is all about having fun! This playful 15-month-old is great with other dogs and would do well in a home with pet siblings to play with. He pictures a life running on the dog beach with his furry best friends and favorite humans. Winston is a bit rambunctious and would prefer a home with adults only. He would love to be your exercise buddy and his silliness is sure to bring a smile to your face!

He’s waiting to meet you at Helen Woodward Animal Center. He has been altered and is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations. As with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, he is microchipped for identification.

Helen Woodward Animal Center pets come from a variety of sources, such as the transfer of animals from public shelters to relieve overcrowding, working with local dog and cat rescues, as well as owner surrender. Every animal in our pet adoption program has received a medical examination, spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, tons of TLC and a microchip. Our goal is to adopt our pets into loving and permanent homes. Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoption Counselors are here to help you choose a pet who will be your perfect match for life.
