From Wish Bone Canine Rescue

Meet Winnie, a tiny 7-pound Chihuahua with a tender heart and a whole lot of feelings. At 2 years old, Winnie is a nervous little girl who needs a patient, understanding person willing to let her learn that the world can be a safe place. Winnie takes time to trust people, and she isn't the kind of dog who will immediately run up asking for attention. She can be easily startled and retreats when she feels unsure, so she needs an adopter who will respect her boundaries and never rush her. Being picked up is particularly scary for Winnie, and while she may tolerate it if necessary, she is much happier when all four tiny feet stay on the ground. She needs someone who understands that her quirks are part of who she is and is willing to work at her pace. But underneath that nervous exterior is a very sweet girl who desperately wants to love and trust her people. Food is definitely the way to Winnie's heart, and she'll gently take treats right from your hand. Once she feels comfortable with you, she'll happily snuggle beside you on the couch, enjoy some gentle pets, and burrow under a blanket like the tiniest little burrito. She also loves chewing on bones, playing with other small…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
