Story
🐾 Meet Curro… or as her foster mom calls her, Churro! 🤎 Foster Mom added an “H” because she says this little girl deserves a name as sweet as her personality — and Churro is about as sweet as they come! At just 3 months old and 12 pounds, Churro is already one smart little cookie. 🍪 She’s doing wonderfully with potty training and has learned sit, stay, down, and come. She walks nicely on a leash and loves getting out to explore. 🌟 A few things to know about Churro: 🐾 3 months old | 12 lbs 🚽 Doing great with potty training 🧠 Knows sit, stay, down & come 🦮 Walks nicely on a leash 🛏️ Kennels wonderfully — she’ll even put herself to bed! 🐶 Plays with her two 75-lb foster sisters 🥰 Professional snuggler Churro started out as a very timid little girl, but she has made amazing progress. With patience and slow introductions, she’s learning that people, dogs, car rides, and new adventures aren’t so scary after all. Food and treats are definitely her love language! She’s still learning that she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her meals, so for now she does best being fed separately in her kennel away from other dogs. At night, Churro settles nicely in her kennel and will let you know when she needs her potty break. She may be an early riser, but after a quick trip outside, she’s happy to head back to bed — especially if snuggles are involved. 🥰 And don’t let her photos fool you! Churro isn’t black — she has the most beautiful shiny, velvety brown coat that you have to see in person. 🤎 Churro is looking for a patient, loving family to continue helping her build confidence and show her just how wonderful life can be. Could Churro be your girl? 🐾🤎 📍 Appleton, WI 🐶 Apply to adopt at thehopehighway.org
