Meet Winston, an 8-year-old, black-, grey-and-white cocker spaniel mix weighing 36-pounds. He’s a little guy with a big personality that came to SPCA of Texas Aug. 10 when he was rescued from inhumane conditions by an animal cruelty Investigator. He was suffering from a severe case of glaucoma and had to have both his eyes removed. So, he can’t see, but that doesn’t hold him back. He loves going for walks and investigating all the different smells. He adores people and attention, especially belly rubs and back scratches. He is extremely treat-motivated and will do just about anything to get one if he smells them nearby. Thanks to a generous donation, he has a halo that he can wear that helps him navigate without running into anything. He does great around children, likes cuddling in big, comfy beds and spending time with people. He has been neutered, microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. Come meet Winston today. #156438
