About Chuy

Meet Chuy, a charming senior Shih Tzu mix ready for a new loving home. He may be older, but don’t let that fool you—Chuy is a playful guy who still loves to have fun! He does have some preferences, especially regarding his food, and he can be a little sensitive about having certain parts of his body touched. Because of this, he’s looking for a home where he can be the sole star and where children are over the age of six. Chuy arrived at The Anti-Cruelty Society, seeking a fresh start. You can meet him at 510 N Lasalle Drive, and our friendly adoption team will help you through the process for same-day adoptions. Chuy is excited to find his forever family! What are you waiting for?
