Welcome to Dhana Metta

MR. WINKY

Mr. Winky has been with us since the beginning of April.  He has proven to be a very loving, well trained chihuahua.  It takes him some time to adjust to new people.  But once he gets to know you, he really does fall in love, and will make a great companion.

Mr. Winky needs to be an only child – dog & human alike.  He would love to have someone who will spend time with him, walking, cuddling, and also without too much coddling.  He is an independent personality along with his sweetness.

I am sure that someone out therecan fall madly in love with him like I have.  Unfortunately for Winky, this environment is taking it’s toll on him.  There are always dogs coming in and out, he doesn’t get what he deserves when it comes to attention.  He is starting to get grumpy with the other dogs, cause they pick on him.

We are hoping that someone out there will open their hearts to this wonderful little guy, he is not as happy here as he could be in a home all to himself.

Even if there was a kind soul out there who would be willing to foster Winky until his forever home came along, please contact us.  Winky deserves so much more.

Winky has no adoption fee, we would just like him to go to a home that will love him for who he is.

If you feel like you can give him a chance, please email us for an adoption application.

Winky is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and housebroken too!

My name is Winky.  No one knows how old I am or where I came from.  I wish I could speak English so I could tell you all about my life and what made me who I am.  I landed myself in a local shelter.  It was scary.  I have to admit I behaved very badly, and I wish I could take it all back and apologize to the nice people there.  My foster mom came to get me and I liked her instantly.  She waited till I was ready to go to her and didn’t force me to like her.  She was very patient.

I got to meet her 2 furkids in the parking lot, and they were cool.  I didn’t want to get too friendly though.  You know, gotta keep up that tough chihuahua reputation that I have.  We went for a walk in the park.  It was fun. I got to ride in the back of her truck, in a kennel…cause she didn’t trust me fully, and vice versa.

She took me to her house, and left me in my kennel so all the other foster furkids could sniff me out and say hello.  It was crazy!!  I was so nervous, all I could do was bark, whine and pace in my kennel.   After a couple of hours my foster mommy decided to let me out, everybody was used to me being there now.  She left the leash on me though, so I couldn’t put myself into a bad situation, and also cause she didn’t want to scare me by grabbing me.   So we went out to the yard, and I got to be on video tape to show how well I was behaving.

After about a week I started to feel lonely without human interaction, so I decided to let my guard down and give her a chance.  I went to her and gave her my sad eyes.  She fell for it!!  She reached down and picked me up.  I sat in her lap and we were both cautious.  I loved it, but I didn’t want to get her hopes up.  So I wriggled and made uncomfortable noises, she put me back on the floor.   Finally someone who understands my language!

We have been together for a few months now, and I wonder if there are any other humans like my foster mommy on this planet.  Then Foster Grandma came over!  She was cool too!  I let her pick me up right away, she carried me outside.  My foster mommy was shocked that I had been so good!  She made sure though that Grandma was careful not to let other people pet me while in her arms, cause I get a little protective of those I fall madly in love with.

We went for a drive, and I loved riding in the front seat next to mommy.  I am so good in the car, and she pets my belly for behaving so well.  I am shocked that she can drive and pet me and still be able to read all of my body language.  I am sure there aren’t many people out there that could read me like she can.  But I know that mommy can’t keep me forever, even though I wish she could.

I started getting jealous of the other furkids, especially Shortman.  He is the biggest of the gang.  I think he is the boss too.  But I like testing him and nipping at his heels when he wants mommy’s affection.  He got mad and chased me across the yard.  I was upset so I just kept barking at him….that was stupid!  He came back and told me off again.  And because I am a tough chihuahua, I told him off right back.  Well, that was even more stupid of me.  Shortman was so angry at me that he beat me up.  Nothing serious folks, he didn’t really want to hurt me, just to scare me.

I was scared for awhile, and was crying cause my feelings were hurt, but mommy says I brought it upon myself, and she is right.  I tried to apologize to Shortman, but he wouldn’t have any of it.  I guess I blew it.  I wanted to explain to mommy that Shortman scares me cause he is a lot bigger than me, but I can’t speak English.  I have no problems with all the other furkids cause they are the same size (or smaller LOL).

Mommy thinks I am ready to find someone just like her, but without any other furkids!  I like all the dogs, and they all like me too, we hang out and play, and I even dig the cat we hang out with.  I don’t wanna be with any children, no matter how old they are – they are too unpredictable and it freaks me out!

If you are just like my foster mommy, I would love to hear from you.  You can contact the nice folks at Dhana Metta Rescue Society at dhanametta@yahoo.ca

They have made an application for you to fill out (man I feel so important!) and they really want to bring me over for a home visit to see if you are really just as awesome as my foster mommy!  I can’t wait for this new adventure in my life to start, but I am a little nervous too.  I really do hope there are other nice people on this planet like mommy.

I am neutered and fully vaccinated.  I don’t have a set adoption fee, but you can donate what you want to the rescue society that saved me.
