About Sugar

Sugar is a dog worth celebrating! Let’s cheer her on and share her incredible journey. As a young pup, she faced a serious disease called canine distemper at a city shelter during an outbreak in San Antonio. Too young for vaccination, Sugar fought through a severe illness that left her unable to stand or walk. Fortunately, her loving foster moms saw the spark in her eyes and provided relentless care to help her recover. With continuous support, including vitamin-packed broths and daily exercise therapy, Sugar turned a corner and has blossomed into a sweetheart who loves both people and doggy companions. She carries the petite frame typical of a Chihuahua but boasts the ears of a Great Dane, though she will max out at around 15 pounds. Sugar’s story is one of resilience and love, so why not raise a glass or better yet, submit your application? She's definitely worth cheering for!
