Story
I would like to introduce you to Chucha!This girl is 5 years old. She is SO sweet and loving. All she wants to do is cuddle and feel loved. She loves running around in the yard and going for walks almost as much as she loves laying next to you.She is SO easy. The easiest and best behaved dog we have ever had.She has bad trauma from other dogs, so she needs a house where she is the only dog. She has not interacted with kids, but she is visibly scared of them, so a home without small kids might be ideal too. She's fine with cats and small dogs.Perks:-Fully house trained-Fully obedience trained-Perfect leash walker-Training collar and place bed included-She is muzzle-trained (just in case it is ever needed)-We are happy to cover any future health expenses. We don't want money to keep you from having the best dog ever.If you are looking for a wonderful and cute companion, please contact us. Chucha cannot wait to meet you!
