My story

Trudy was posted on NextDoor as needing a new home for some reason or another. A nice young woman adopted Trudy as a companion to her two like-sized poodle mixes. However, apparently Trudy started picking on one of the dogs, so the young woman re-posted Trudy, and she came to be fostered by Jean Hill in Riverside. The best guess of various rescue co-ordinators is that Trudy is a pug-chihuahua mix, commonly called a “chug.” She is short and “dense” like a pug, weighing in at about 17 lbs, but has the happy look of a chihuahua. She loves to eat, and isn’t real picky about what’s in her bowl! Trudy is happy, affectionate and playful. She loves people and will ask for hugs and belly rubs. However, she also loves a bit of wrestle-mania with her like-aged foster brothers and sisters, both smaller and (slightly) larger, and doesn’t seem to care who wins! Trudy hasn’t shown persistent “bullying” behavior as had been previously reported. She will occasionally pick on a smaller dog, but a stern “no” spoken just once or twice corrects the behavior. Trudy has limited vision in one of her eyes, possibly due to an old injury, but it does not bother her at all, and there is no discharge. She walks well on a leash, and likes to ride in the car. She likes to sleep in one of the many open crates at her foster mom’s house, but isn’t picky about which one. She sleeps quietly through the night. Her house training is reliable if she has access to a dog door and a secure yard. Trudy has been exposed to cats and bunnies at her foster mom’s house, but they live in separate areas. While she has shown interest without aggression, we cannot be certain about face-to-face. Trudy’s vaccines are up-to-date. She’s spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in Trudy, please contact Jean at jshill828@gmail.com, or 714-803-0154 (text is best). An adoption application and home check are required.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Trudy-Roo/Courtesy Post, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
