Hi there, I'm Chucho

I am a neutered male, tan Chihuahua - Smooth Coated (bonded to deuce). You thought you and your best friend were an adorable duo? Well, you haven’t met Deuce and Chucho, brothers from different mothers!Deuce (red sweater) came to the shelter late September after being found as a stray, taking himself for a walk. His former owner had rehomed him but unfortunately, no one came forward for this sweet boy. In the shelter, he was handling himself ok…..meaning he was ‘surviving’ but not thriving. During his medical exam, he became quite agitated with the staff, trying to bite them during exams. It was ultimately discovered that he has a low-grade heart murmur and a lipoma (fatty, benign lump) on his chest. Deuce doesn’t let either of these things affect his daily life. Because of his crankiness in the shelter, he went into foster care where he could have the time to open up more. Once in a home, Deuce instantly relaxed and is quite the lovely companion.Chucho also came to the shelter around the same time as an owner surrender due to financial hardship. Unfortunately, not much is known about Chucho’s previous life. What is known is that Chucho was incredibly distraught about being in the shelter he tried to bite staff, was quite fearful, and began to shut down. Lucky for him, a loving and patient foster home was waiting for him.By happenstance, Deuce and Chucho ended up in the same foster home within a matter of days and it was love at first sniff! These two boys, who had never met before, had an instant bromance and because of such, they will be adopted as a pair to finish their golden years together. Deuce is the more confident and outgoing one of the two, while Chucho is the more shy but energetic one. Deuce can be pushy for attention while Chucho will love you with all his tiny being from afar. He loves interacting with humans and will wiggle his little butt faster than you’ve ever seen – he just isn’t sure how he feels about petting and touches (he wants them but seems uncomfortable). Chucho will need a patient home to help him feel safe. Both boys are food motivated, LOVE to snuggle in bed, and are overall housebroken (though they both have a bad habit of marking in the house. Belly bands are great to help combat this!). In their foster home, they live with large and small dogs (they prefer their own size) cats foster kittens rabbits and a toddler. They would do best with children who can respect their space.Please contact Deuce and Chucho’s foster parents, Allison and Joshua, at waldvogel0724@gmail.com to inquire about Deuce and Chucho or set up a visit. Please allow up to 24 hours for Allison and Joshua to respond.
