Description
Dog Breed: Pug / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Meet Kristofferson! Hi, I’m Kristofferson — the best of both worlds in one adorable package. Inside, I’m a chill guy who loves scouting out the coziest nap spots. But the moment we head outside, my energy kicks in! Walks are my absolute favorite thing, and I come alive with excitement, ready to sniff, explore, and take in all the smells the world has to offer. I’m a bit reserved when meeting new people, preferring to quietly observe until I know I can trust you. But once I do, get ready — I turn into a loyal, lively companion who’s up for any adventure. Movie nights? Long drives? Snuggle sessions? Count me in! Some of my favorite things: Walks (they truly are my happy place) Sniffing everything Squeaky toys Playing fetch or tug (especially with squeaky toys) Snuggling Watching you eat (I take my spectator duties seriously) Hiding under couches or beds — I even trail my leash so you can find me! Things I’m not a fan of: Baths (hard pass) Cold weather — I’ll definitely need cozy sweaters in the winter Sudden movements or people reaching toward me too quickly If you’re looking for a small, sweet, and loyal companion to share life’s adventures — big and small — I’d love to meet you! Kristofferson is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Breed overview
Overview:
The "Chug," a delightful crossbreed of the Chihuahua and Pug, originated from the desire to combine the best traits of both beloved parent breeds. Physically, Chugs typically inherit a compact build, weighing between 10-20 pounds, with a short, smooth coat that comes in various colors, often displaying the Pug's characteristic wrinkled face and the Chihuahua's expressive eyes. Their temperament is generally a charming mix of the Pug's affectionate and playful nature with the Chihuahua's spirited and loyal disposition, making them wonderful companions. Chugs are highly adaptable, excelling in both apartment living and homes with families, including those with older children, though early socialization is key. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of predispositions to respiratory issues (due to their brachycephalic features), patellar luxation, and eye conditions, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
