Winston Charles

I came to the MCSPCA from a different NJ shelter to get the best chance at a forever family. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about my history before getting to that shelter… so I’m choosing to focus on the future instead of the past.

I am a timid, 7-year-old dude who needs a quiet place to live out the rest of my life. Loud noises and fast movements are scary to me right now, but with gentle pets and some sweet-talking, I soften up quickly. I would do best in an adult-only home, with humans that will let me settle in at my own pace.

I’m not sure if I would get along with other kitties yet – I might benefit from having someone show me the ropes, but who’s to say? Either way, I can’t wait to meet you and show you how Winston can Win you over!

Things to Know

We only do adoptions in person
Please bring equipment needed for your new pet
You will fill out a survey and meet with a counselor
Most adoptions take an hour or so to complete
Adoption process must begin 1-hour before closing

We are open to the public for walk-ins! If you are interested in adopting a dog, please be aware that our adoption floor is not open to walk through as we have found stress-levels, fear and anxiety of our dogs have decreased by limiting foot traffic. This results in a calmer living environment and a huge reduction of stress related behaviors. We have found that happier, less stressed dogs, ultimately lead to more successful adoptions too! Anyone who visits our shelter can view photos, bios, and videos of our available dogs and speak with an adoption counselor to meet any dog in one of our “meet and greet” rooms or our fenced in park. The cat floor is open to walk through.

You can save time and fill out a survey online, they are also available at the shelter. Completing a survey does not secure any animal for adoption. You do not need to submit a survey to visit, nor do you need to receive a response to a survey to visit (unless specifically noted on a post or bio). The survey is NOT an application that needs approval.
