Story
Chato is living in a foster home in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Say hello to Chato, a five-year-old pug with a sweet, classic pug personality! He’s loving, loyal, and full of charm — the kind of little guy who wins hearts wherever he goes. Chato would love to find a forever family who understands his breed and the special care pugs often need to stay happy and healthy. Chato lives with other little dogs in his foster home and does well with them. He’s looking for someone who appreciates all the wonderful quirks that make pugs such beloved companions. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, snuggly pug into your life, Chato can’t wait to meet you! Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.
