Although she lost the home she once knew, she has never stopped trusting people or believing that brighter days were ahead. Today, she's ready to find a family that will love her forever and make sure she never has to experience that loss again. This adorable little girl is everything people love about Pugs. Chikitrina is affectionate, cheerful, and happiest when she's surrounded by the people she loves. She has a playful personality and enjoys carrying toys around the house, going for leisurely walks, and curling up beside you for naps after a fun day. Her sweet face and expressive eyes have a way of making everyone she meets smile. Chikitrina is wonderfully social and gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. She enjoys companionship and would love a home where she can be part of everyday family life. Whether she's joining you for errands, relaxing on the couch, or greeting visitors with her wagging tail, she's simply happy being included. As a Pug, Chikitrina is known for being loving, loyal, and people-oriented. Pugs thrive on companionship and form incredibly strong bonds with their families. They are playful without being overly demanding and make wonderful companions for families, couples, and individuals alike. Chikitrina would thrive in a home that offers: Plenty of love and companionship Daily walks and moderate exercise Positive reinforcement training Interactive toys and enrichment A consistent daily routine A comfortable indoor home where she's treated as part of the family A lifetime of love, patience, and commitment Chikitrina has already experienced what it feels like to lose a home. Now she's hoping her next family will be her forever family—the one that will love her through every stage of life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Although Chikitrina has lived in a home before, every rescue dog needs time to adjust to new surroundings and routines. Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to learn your household routine 3 Months to fully settle into family life Chikitrina is eager to bond with her new family and will continue to flourish with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Her new family should continue providing: Positive reinforcement training Daily walks and gentle playtime Consistent routines Continued socialization Plenty of love, reassurance, and affection With a little time and a lot of love, Chikitrina will become the loyal companion she's meant to be. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Adopting Chikitrina is a lifelong commitment that includes proper veterinary care, exercise, companionship, and a loving home. As part of responsible pet ownership, Chikitrina will need: Annual veterinary wellness examinations Routine vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian Monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention A balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight Daily moderate exercise and mental enrichment Continued training and socialization A safe indoor home where she is treated as a cherished member of the family Because Pugs are a brachycephalic (short-nosed) breed, Chikitrina should avoid overheating and strenuous exercise during warm weather. Fresh water, shade, and climate-controlled environments will help keep her comfortable and healthy.
