Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Papillon / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 500. As can be seen by her photos, Sugar is simply adorable. She has lots of Chihuahua attitude and likes to bark at dogs on walks, but just to make sure they know she is coming and they should wait to meet her. She loves car rides, snuggles, playing with her canine foster sister, meal times, exploring the back yard, and giving kisses. She is slow to meet new people, but will give them a sniff. She likes meeting new dogs of all sizes. Sugar has GERD, Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, and takes a daily antacid to keep the disease under control. Luckily she really enjoys pill pockets. She also take cough meds as needed. She needs 3-4 small low fat meals per day to keep food in her tummy but not to let it be full. She is active, and playful, and goes on 2 mile walks every day with her larger canine foster siblings. Sugar is about 3 years old and 7 pounds, but she actually seems smaller than that. She is a fun, loving girl that wants a home where she can spend most of the time with her person(s). Another dog would be nice, but not a requirement. She will be spayed before she is adopted out. Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Sugar is $300. If you are interested in adopting Sugar, please complete our online adoption application at .gratefuldogsrescue/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at .gratefuldogsrescue/available-dogs/

Breed overview
Overview:
The Chion is a delightful designer breed, a charming cross between the spirited Chihuahua and the elegant Papillon, originating from the desire for a companion dog combining the best traits of both parents. These small, vivacious dogs typically inherit a fine, silky coat that can be long or short, often featuring the Papillon's distinctive fringe on the ears, and a plumed tail. Their expressive eyes and alert demeanor reflect their intelligent and often playful nature. Chions are generally affectionate, loyal, and surprisingly energetic, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families with older children who understand gentle handling. Their compact size makes them perfectly suited for apartment living, though regular exercise is still beneficial. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns such as luxating patellas and dental issues, common in their parent breeds.
