Cronos is an adorable, affectionate, and a curious dog. He is very amiable and warm towards people.

Cronos loves going on walks while on his leash and is very friendly to those he meets on his walks - both human and canine. He's a smart boy who loves to explore and investigate his surroundings. He has a lot of energy and would make the perfect companion for long walks and hikes in the park. If you're looking for a furry friend who loves to cuddle, explore, and sniff around, Cronos is the perfect fit for you. Cronos is joyful and gets along with everyone!

Story
My name is Chocolate, and I'm a young pug with a lot of spirit and love to give. Even though I'm just five months old, I'm a very smart and energetic pup who is a pro at walking on the leash and has already learned how to sit on command unless I'm being stubborn and then all bets are off. I'm a bit stubborn sometimes (especially when it comes to my crate - I'd much rather be free and snuggling with my favorite humans), but I'm also very sweet and I learn quickly. I'm talkative without being a barker, and I love to give kisses and make new friends. I am doing my best to learn the game fetch, although sometimes I stop to chew on the toy before returning to you. If you're looking for a fun, sweet, and energetic pup to join your family, look no further - I'm Chocolate, and I'm the one for you! I can't wait to meet you and start our new life together! Sincerely, Chocolate

Story
Teresa is a very affectionate and gentle young lady with lots of love to give! She is a very curious and friendly dog, she gets along with everyone she meets be it humans or other dogs! She loves going on walks and playing with toys. She is a very smart and calm dog, she is quite easy going and a real sweetheart. She is 10 pounds and is 10 months old. She has a medium energy level, though sometimes can be a bit full of energy and playful. She is a well-mannered pup who is just looking for someone to love her. If you're looking for a sweet and smart little companion, Teresa is the one for you! She is in a foster home not a shelter; she was abandoned by her owner, who put her and her two siblings on the street in a town near Tijuana. We scooped them up two months ago, provide vetting, puppy vaccines, sterilization, etc. She is healthy and ready for her forever home. More pictures coming soon. 6/4/25
