About Colin

Meet Colin, a charming 4-month-old pup weighing in at about 7 pounds. Surrendered by his previous owner to a shelter, we couldn't resist picking him up as soon as we got the call. Colin's been described as a Chug, a delightful mix of Chihuahua and Pug, showcasing the pug's classic coloring with some added length to his legs and a unique snout. Initially nervous, Colin quickly showed his true colors once he felt safe. He adores people and transforms into a snuggly little companion, eager to be carried around. His playful nature shines through when interacting with other dogs, and he has yet to meet a person he doesn't like. Treats, squeaky toys, and being part of the action excite him, and he learns quickly. As a young puppy, Colin will need guidance to navigate common puppy challenges like house training and socialization. His future family should be present and patient, ready to help him blossom into a well-adjusted adult. A tiny sidekick with an enormous heart, Colin is ready to be scooped up for a new adventure. Don't miss this chance to make him part of your life!
