About Sugar

Meet Sugar! 🩷 Sugar is an 8-year-old Pug/Chihuahua mix weighing about 25 pounds. This little sweetheart is shy and takes her time warming up to new people. However, once she feels secure, she becomes your devoted companion, never leaving your side. Sugar thrives on lounging with her favorite humans. She's low-energy and enjoys a cozy spot, companionship, and plenty of snuggles. Well-mannered and house-trained, Sugar is also crate-trained, although she'd prefer to be close to you. She gets along well with other dogs and mostly ignores cats. Loud noises can startle her, prompting some barking at visitors, but she tends to keep her distance until she feels comfortable. A home without young children would suit her best. The outside world can be intimidating for Sugar, so she'll need a patient adopter who can help her build confidence through positive experiences. Treat-motivated, she’s open to learning new things with encouragement. After four years in her previous home, Sugar has faced some big changes and is understandably uncertain. Despite her fears, she shows a desire to trust. Once she does, you'll be rewarded with her adorable little prance when excited and her charming way of gently reaching out with a paw when you stop petting her. Sugar seeks a calm, loving home with someone who understands that building trust takes time. In return, she promises to be your loyal little shadow and fill your life with love. ❤️ Click apply to start the adoption process.
