About Winston

Winston is a gentle, sweet-natured Chihuahua who enjoys toys and the company of other dogs. He came from a challenging background and really needs someone with patience who can help him adjust to a calmer, more secure home life. At the moment, Winston is afraid of the outdoors and prefers using potty pads inside the house. He's wary of human touch at first but, with time and trust, allows gentle pets—even though being picked up still scares him. One of his favorite things is sleeping close to his person at night. Winston will thrive in a quiet household that can give him time to settle in and show his true personality. Click apply to start the adoption process.
