My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to Chugga Chugga Woo, a 13-year-old Chihuahua mix who’s full of personality, warmth, and love. Despite her age, she still enjoys gentle attention, cozy snuggles, and the comfort of being close to her favorite humans.
Chugga is happiest in a quiet, peaceful home where she can relax, receive gentle care, and enjoy all the love and companionship she deserves. She’s the perfect senior companion for someone looking for a devoted little friend to share calm, heartwarming moments.

Dog Day Out Review: "We took Chugga Chugga out for the day and she is as sweet as candy!! She wants nothing more than to cuddle up in your lap and just give you all the love. A true lap dog through and through! She craves it. The only thing she may love just as much as being in your lap, is being outside! She absolutely thrives outside and acts 10 years younger while running, galloping around & soaking in the fresh air, it’s soooo adorable. She has a big smile on her face when she’s outside. You’d never guess she’s 14 when you see her run around out there! Being outside & being on your lap = chefs kiss for Chugga Chugga!! Not only does she love it, but she’s excellent on leash. She totally follows your lead and isn’t reactive to any people or dogs. Even in the short 4 hours that we had her, I can just tell she is a very loyal girl and I know she will be as obsessed with her owners and they are with her. She’s just the best!"
