Story
Chug the Chihuahua-Pug was recently adopted and then returned after it was discovered that Chug has… a very enthusiastic personality when it comes to other dogs. In polite terms, Chug sometimes forgets his manners and tries to “romance” the other dogs in the home. In less polite terms… he humps. A lot. His previous home had a small female dog who unfortunately was not impressed by Chug’s level of dedication and she found it stressful. So in the interest of honesty (and her sanity), Chug is back with us while we help him find a home that’s a better fit. Because of this, Chug may do best as: • The only dog in the home, or • With someone experienced who is comfortable managing and training that behavior Now that we’ve addressed Chug’s… romantic ambitions, here’s what else we’ve learned about him: Chug is actually a very loyal little companion who just wants to be near his person. He is happiest sitting in your lap or hanging out by your side like your tiny personal assistant.

Tuna Melt is settling in beautifully and showing everyone what a sweet little companion she is.She’s doing well around other dogs and has adjusted nicely. She’s very people oriented and absolutely a Velcro girl who loves to be close. Being picked up and carried? Yes, please. She’s happiest right by your side.She’s feeling much better after her dental surgery and her appetite is improving. She’s eating softened kibble and especially enjoys it with a little chicken, cheese, or hot dog on top.Tuna Melt loves cozy spots and can often be found curled up in a dog bed. She’s doing great going potty outside with no accidents in the house. While she’ll explore the yard, she has made it very clear that snow is not her thing.Tuna Melt is currently on medical hold awaiting surgery at UC Davis to repair her broken jaw. Her procedure is scheduled in about six weeks, and we expect her to be released for adoption in April once she has fully healed.She’s sweet, loyal, and blossoming more every day.
