Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Pug / Mixed (short coat). Meet Lulu This adorable little Chihuahua mix (possibly a Chi/Pug “Chug”) is looking for the loving forever home she deserves after being abandoned when her family moved away and left her behind. Animal control stepped in, and Worthy Dog was contacted to help. Lulu has quickly proven to be a sweet, confident, and very snuggly little pup. She may need a few minutes to warm up to new people, but once she does, her affectionate personality shines. She loves cuddling, being held like a baby, and sleeping under the covers with her person at night. Lulu has lived successfully with other dogs and is currently being fostered with canine companions, but she also loves people so much that we think she’d be perfectly happy as an only dog soaking up all the attention. She has a more moderate, laid-back energy level overall and enjoys relaxing just as much as she enjoys treats and belly rubs. She has good leash manners, does well on walks, and has quickly earned her foster mom’s trust. While she has been crated previously, she’s done great being left out when her foster mom runs errands and has not been destructive. She has good potty manners when kept on a regular, consistent schedule. Lulu is the perfect little companion for someone looking for a loving, loyal cuddle buddy. Apply today!

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to foster.worthydog and fill out an 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.
