My story

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

Margarita is very quiet and can be shy at first until she gets to know you. She would be perfect for someone who works from home, wants to take their dog everywhere with them, as an emotional support animal, or for a senior looking for an easy, small, lightweight pet. The paperwork from the shelter estimated me being a senior, but I appear to be much younger, so we are going to ask the vet to reevaluate my age. She is a bit of a Houdini and can escape harnesses and does not do well on the leash. She would thrive in a home with a fenced yard for her to romp and play. She does do her nervous snips typical of chihuahua's but LOVES attention and to be next to her forever person. Kids definitely make her nervous and she likes to protect what is hers, toys, food and her person. So, although a bit diva she does get along with other pups with slow introduction and plenty of monitored time to connect. She does take a little more time to acclimate to a new environment but once she does, she is very endearing and sweet. If anyone has a special heart for the truly displaced, please consider giving Margarita a chance to learn to be the dog she was always meant to be.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Church of Pug.
Everyone at Church of Pug is a volunteer. We wear many hats - we foster pugs, travel to vet appointments, attend fundraising events, process a lot of paperwork, and more. We make every effort to respond to inquiries in a timely manner but often the days get away from us. For this reason, we will do our best to reach out to everyone. We’ll let you know your application has been received either through a phone call, text or email.
PLEASE take your time completing the below application and fill out questions in detail! This is the information our adoption team will use to make initial determinations when selecting applicants to proceed in the interview process as dogs become available and we begin the process of finding its forever family.

READ the information on each dog's biography page carefully. If you are interested in applying to adopt a dog, please ensure you meet the stated requirements. All of these dogs live with our foster families and that means we know their story -- we understand what they have been through and what they need in a forever home. All decisions are made with the dogs' best interests in mind.
