About Chupa

Chupa is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix residing in Tyler, TX. Arriving at the SPCA of East Texas after a challenging situation, he faced the possibility of euthanasia due to his family's inability to cover the treatment for his severe flea allergies and skin infections. Currently, he weighs about 9 pounds and has a short, apricot and beige coat, which is unfortunately in poor condition as he has lost much of his fur. Despite these setbacks, Chupa is in a caring foster home where he receives the medical attention and affection he needs to begin healing. Chupa gets along wonderfully with other pets and kids alike, making him a potential fit for various homes. Though he is not ready for adoption at this time, there is hope that he will soon be on the road to recovery, allowing him to enjoy his golden years comfortably and happily.
