About Winnie

Winnie is a lively 5-year-old spayed Chihuahua mix with a vibrant personality. Weighing in at just 13 pounds, this little dynamo loves nothing more than curling up on your lap after a spirited play session. She's playful and affectionate, delighting in chase games and the occasional zoomie around the room. Having come from a challenging background in a Houston hoarding case, Winnie has made a remarkable recovery and is ready to find a loving home. Currently fostered in Austin, Texas, she is house trained and crate trained, although she prefers to be out and about exploring her new surroundings. She may need some continued work on her leash manners, as she tends to pull and get excited when seeing new people. Winnie plays well with larger dogs and has a confident demeanor, but she does not get along with cats. If you're looking for an affectionate companion with plenty of spirit, Winnie could be the perfect match. She thrives on attention and loves being part of whatever you're doing. Her sweet and playful nature makes her a joy to have around. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
