Winston our new rescue dog

This is Winston who we adopted 10 days ago from the Dogs Trust Roden near Shrewsbury, he had been with them for four years. He has settled in so well and has made himself really at home.

This is beautiful! Love that Winston found his furever home! Thank you for sharing this.

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks for commenting. Winston has had two previous homes before landing up at the Roden Dogs Trust Shrewsbury and spending the last four years there where he was a favorite with all of the staff, but it is not quite the same as having a home of your own. As you say he has now found his furever home!

This is a lovely dog ! Thanks !

Thank you Annie, yes he is a lovely dog, I took him back yesterday to see the girls at the kennels where he had been for 4 years and almost all of them came out to greet him, he is a real star with then all.

A very kind thing you've done, Maurice. Hope he likes birds! He certainly seems to have a steady demeanor. What a change if must be for him -- from shelter to that back garden.

[@MauriceBaker100]

Many thanks for your comments. He's settled in so well and already made an arrangement with the birds, they don't bother him & he doesn't bother them, but the same doesn't go for the squirrels though.

How wonderful you found Winston and how wonderful the Dogs Trust Roden kept him for so long until he found his forever home.

What a beautiful sweet dog Maurice! I love dogs☺

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks Annemieke, dogs have always been part of my life. For the 4 weeks we were without one prior to adopting Winston there was gaping hole in our home and lives.

He looks a fine fellow! Enjoy your new home - I'm sure you'll have lots of adventures xxx

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks Nicky, he really has settled in well to his new home and is getting on with his training of me, we are now up to 4 walks a day.

Hello Winston so lovely to meet you, it looks like you have landed on all four paws in your new forever home :0) Thank you Maurice for choosing rescue & giving this gorgeous boy a well deserved chance. We look forward to many video updates 😁😁😁

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thank you for your kind comments. Winston has settled in so well, he sits by the side gate and lets everyone who passed by that this is HIS NEW HOME!.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Beautiful dog. Hope he takes good care of you, Maurice!

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks Jeremy, he's already made himself at home and spends quite a lot of time in the garden seeing off the cats and sitting at the gate letting passers-by know that this is his home now.

Good stuff Maurice! Congratulations on the new addition to your family! We have two rescue dogs too, all the way from Serbia. I shall look forwards to seeing a lot more of Winston in future films. N.

Thanks Norman, for a dog that has been in kennels for 4 years he has settled into home life so quickly. It's surprising how many dogs seem to come in from overseas for re homing, our local Dogs Trust has a lot of dogs coming in from Ireland.

Thanks Maurice, my wife tried all over our area (South Yorkshire) but couldn't get any joy from any of the rescue centres. That is the only reason she ventured further afield. Good Luck. Neil

Glorious chap!

[@TomMcClean]

Winston is surely a very happy doggy now!

[@risc19]

Hi Winston! You are a good boy.

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks from Winston! and yes he knows that he is a good boy.

Great Maurice and a wonderful dog. I have a new rescue dog too, he come from Greece and is now 6 months old...or young. Sep is his name and very lovely. Greetings, Sarah

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thank you Sarah for your comments. It's nice to hear that you also have a rescue dog, or should I say a lovely puppy! Winston is 8 years old and had 2 previous homes so I am hoping this is his forever home. Greetings, Maurice
