Story
This tiny pixie girl practically twinkles, and it is a contagious bit of happiness that makes people love her immediately. On top of that she meets you more than half-way on being besties so who could ever not fall for her? This little love is Churro Pixie Pocket!
Go watch Churro on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this easy, happy little companion that is ready to fit right into your life like she’s always belonged there.

Churro is estimated to be around 3.5 years old and weighs in at a perfectly portable 9.5 lbs. She appears to be a chihuahua mix, and as always with rescue, breed and age are our best guess. What we do know for sure? She is an absolute delight. The kind of dog that makes you smile without even trying.
Churro is fostered in a loving, multi-pet home sharing space with a variety of dogs (big and small) and several cats… and she’s wonderful with all of them. She enjoys playful moments with the dogs, but she doesn’t rely on them to feel comfortable or complete. Churro is just as happy soaking up love directly from her people, which means she will thrive as a solo dog or alongside furry siblings.
Behavior-wise, everything about Churro is beautifully typical for a chihuahua, in the best way. She’s expressive, affectionate, adaptable, and easy to understand. She eased into her foster home with no trouble and has been a lovely guest. She has great social skills with people and dogs and a, beautiful balance of being both playful and relaxed. She’ll happily engage when it’s time for fun, but she’s just as content settling in beside you or curling up in her dog bed.
Churro is not a version of Chihuhua that loves being out and about all the time. She is pleasant in the car but not the kind of dog who needs constant outings, windows down, to feel fulfilled. Her joy is much simpler- connection, comfort, and being near her people.
If you’re looking for a small dog who brings companionship and true sweetness, in teeny-tiny package… this is your girl!
Apply today to welcome Churro home. She is ready and waiting!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
