Description
Dog Breed: Pug / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Chalupa is a Chihuahua/Pug mix (aka a `Chug`) with a big personality packed into a small body. He can seem a little amped up at first, which isn't unusual given how stressful and overstimulating the shelter environment can be for small dogs. Once he is out, has had a chance to decompress, and taken care of important business, Chalupa shows his much more relaxed and affectionate side. He enjoys gentle pets, happily soaks up attention, and is more than willing to hop up next to you for some quality cuddle time. Beneath that initial burst of energy is a sweet, companionable little dog who just wants to feel comfortable and secure. We have not yet observed Chalupa with other dogs. If you have a dog and are interested in meeting him, you are welcome to bring your pup to your appointment for a guided dog-to-dog introduction. Schedule an appointment to meet Chalupa at yoloshelter/dogs or email adoptyoloshelter

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.
