WINONARYDER - CHIHUAHUA / JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 600. Meet Winona: The Spicy Soft-Eared Sass Queen Winona is that friend who wants to join the group chat but thinks everyone’s plotting against her. She watches the dogs play and her sister snuggle but the second you reach toward her—poof, she’s gone like you owe her money. She’s curious, assertive, and clearly the boss (just ask her sister Rachel, who shuts down every time Winona throws one of her dramatic barky fits). It’s a whole soap opera, and we’re just the treat dispensers. Winona’s still not sold on humans, but she’s no longer curled up in a corner—now she’s tossing toys, sniffing cats, and swooning over Bento, the dog who greets her with a face full of snot. (True love is weird.) Crates? She thinks those are bathrooms. But stick with her and she’ll hold it fine if she’s with you. She’s not kid-friendly, but she loves other dogs and does great with cats. She rides quietly in the car (crated) and is learning that barking is fun, so maybe skip the apartment. Her favorite things? Chew toys, snacks, and staying just out of human reach. She’s chaotic, charming, suspicious of your intentions—and has the softest, floppiest ears on Earth. Winona is a work in progress, but she’s totally worth it. WinonaRyder is from Texas.
