About Winnie
Winnie is a small, sensitive 1-year-old Chihuahua mix (about 11 pounds) currently settling into foster care. Sheâs a gentle soul who startles easily in new places and around unfamiliar people, often choosing to hide before curiosity and trust slowly draw her out. A consistent, calm home is where Winnie thrivesâshe needs a routine that doesn't throw too many surprises her way. Winnie is looking for a quiet, adult-only household where safety comes first. She cannot be placed with kids or in busy city apartments, and will need a house with a secure yardâher stress response when frightened is to bolt, making her a flight risk if not carefully managed. She isn't the type to rush up for pats, but if youâre patient and willing to move at her pace, sheâll slowly let her personality bloom. Winnie gets along well with other dogs and actually prefers living with a confident canine companion, as this helps her feel safer and encourages her growth. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and, while not yet house trained, sheâs tidy in the home. Winnie will need an experienced adopter committed to going at her speed and ready to celebrate the little steps forward. She deserves a soft landingâa stable home where she can finally exhale.
