My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Churro! This stocky nugget transferred to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility.
Churro is an adorable, loving, active little acrobat! While he doesn't climb the chain-link fencing at our rescue, he has climbed our Adoption Event x-pens with ease. He can catapult over our 3.5ft pony wall when he wants to see what we're up to on the other side! On the occasions that Churro doesn't clear the pony wall, he'll grab it with his paws and pull himself over like a little bodybuilder!
Churro is an athletic and strong dog in a tiny package! He doesn't have the respiratory issues and considerations that his Pug ancestors have, so pack this tiny boy up and take him on your next hike! With his boundless energy, Churro is ready to see the world!

Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
