Need forever home for my gorgeous boy winston
This is Winston he is a 1 and a half shihtzu/ chihuahua cross, I'm Heart broke to be doing this and spent months trying alternatives so I would be able to keep him but unfortunately Winston has severe separation anxiety and it's affecting my mental health as It's difficult to even leave him for an hour it's that's bad. His anxiety causes him to howl, cry, become heavily stressed, he won't eat or drink and will wee everywhere. He will tear down gates and squeeze through tiny gaps in crates which can hurt him. He is a brilliant dog when I'm at home although I have to always be in eyesight, he's fully housetrained, will happily sleep in a crate at night if it's in the same room, he loves cuddles and playing games and he's genuinely very good never had any problems with him chewing anything he shouldn't etc. He is wary around other dogs and people when out walking and will bark but used to socialise with other dogs when younger and was happy left playing with them so ideally looking to home him with someone with another dog to see if can find him a companion to help with his anxiety. I love this little boy to death he is my best friend so I won't let him go unless it's the perfect home and he gets on with the other dog. I also won't let him go into a situation where he will be left alone as it's pointless when I'm home most of the time and still having problems. Would be great if it was a home that had worked with separation anxiety before. I'd also want to be kept fully up to date during the settling in period and if he wasn't settling then he would come back here instead of being passed about. Read More
