Description
Dog Breed: Pug / Chihuahua / Mixed. Meet BushBaby BushBaby is a 4‑month‑old Pug/Chihuahua mix and the tiniest member of her whole litter — but don’t let her size fool you. She may be small, but she’s brave enough to stand up for herself when she needs to, and she’s learning more about the world every day. Out of her group, BushBaby is the shyest, especially around new dogs. Everything is bigger than she is, so it’s no surprise she needs a little extra time to feel safe. With a few minutes and a calm environment, she starts to relax and figure out who might be a friend. She’s still learning how to play and hang out with other dogs, and she’ll thrive in a home that helps her build confidence at her own pace. BushBaby will do best in a home with another friendly dog and people who are committed to gentle socialization. She’s not a fan of being reached for from above — it’s scary when you’re that small — but if you get down on her level, she’ll happily trot right into your lap for comfort and cuddles. This little girl has a soft heart, a brave spirit, and so much potential. With patience, kindness, and a confident canine buddy, BushBaby will blossom into the loving companion she’s meant to be. Because BushBaby is a high‑energy, still‑developing Puppy, she will do best in a home that can keep up with her activity level, play needs, and ongoing socialization. We are looking for adopters who are comfortable with a very active youngster and able to provide consistent interaction, enrichment, and supervision. BushBaby's adoption fee is $350, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.

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.
