🐶 Pet of the Week: Meet Pup!
Say hello to Pup, a 12-year-old Chihuahua with a heart that’s even bigger than his eyes—and that’s saying something. Don’t let the age fool you… this little guy has pep. He loves walks, loves chasing his ball, and really loves finding a warm lap to curl into when he’s ready to recharge.
Pup is friendly with both dogs and cats, and once he decides you’re one of his people, he’ll be your tiny shadow in the very best way. He’s house, crate, and leash trained, neutered, and all up to date on vaccines—truly the full package for anyone looking to add a sweet, easygoing buddy to the family.
If you’ve been hoping for a snuggly companion who brings all the charm of a senior pup with plenty of life left to enjoy, Pup might just be your guy.
