Meet Pudge, a 3-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is searching for a patient and loving family. At first, he might seem a little shy, but once you earn his trust, he’ll become your devoted companion. Pudge is a total sweetheart, eager to learn that the world can be a friendly place with a bit of reassurance. He’s crate trained and house trained, and he walks nicely on a leash. Pudge gets along well with small dogs, older cats, and older children who understand that he needs time to adjust. This curious little guy loves to follow his people around—he really is your little shadow. When he’s feeling happy, he jumps straight up in the air with excitement! Pudge is still building his confidence around new sights and sounds, and while he may whine a bit when left alone, he is making progress every day with patience and love. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate friend who will be by your side, Pudge could be the perfect fit. He just needs someone ready to give him the time and comfort to thrive. Pudge is available for adoption through Mercy Full Project; the adoption fee is $500, which covers his neutering, microchip, and vaccines. Ready to welcome this sweet boy into your home? Apply today!
