Meet Winky, a charming little mix of miniature pinscher and Chihuahua, affectionately known as a MinChi. At five years old and weighing in at just 6 pounds, this little guy has had a tough start but is ready for a brighter future. Despite losing an eye and having a few scars, Winky is blossoming in his new surroundings. He’s gone from being timid to a little Velcro dog who craves love and companionship. Winky thrives on attention and is quite the jumper; he once surprised his foster by standing on the kitchen table! While he’s learning the ropes of house training and is showing signs of improvement, patience and gentle guidance will help him continue to progress.
