Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Pug / Mixed. ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at .emmetcountyanimalshelter*** Meet Sugar! This sweet little girl was one of many dogs pulled from a hoarding house. Sugar is trying so hard to learn about things since the experiences she has had in her life up until now have been very limited. She's learned that car rides are nice, couches are soft, windows have warm sunlight and that snuggling with someone to sleep at night is her favorite thing! Sugar is afraid of men and would need a women only household. She also is struggling with going outside since she has spent that past two years locked in a basement however she does better in a fenced yard so that would be a plus for this little girl. We estimate her to be about 2 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $275.00

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.
