Churro

My story

Quick Facts  Name: Churro Age: 2 years old Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Shiba corgi mix Colour: Black, Brown, White Weight: 20kg / 44lbs   My Rescue Story Hi there! I’m Churro. I was rescued just in time from the euthanasia list at a city pound along with my sibling, Carpoo. Even though life in the shelter was tough, I never let it take away my sparkle! Now, I’m ready to find my forever family who will love me, cherish me, and bring out all the joy and sweetness I have to share.   My Health Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) I’ve been spayed and have no known health issues.   My Personality When you first meet me, you’ll instantly notice my adorable face and cute little short legs! I have the proud look of a Jindo, but with the charming short legs of a Corgi—making me extra unique and lovable. My beautiful fur coat looks even more stunning in person, and I carry myself with a calm, steady demeanor. I grew up in the city pound alongside my sibling, Carpoo, and now I’m ready to find a loving forever family who will appreciate my sweet, quiet nature.     My Social Skills With People: I’m a little timid when you first meet me, but give me some tasty treats and a gentle approach, and I warm up quickly! Once I feel safe, I happily accept pets and affection. It doesn’t take long for me to open up, and I love showing my belly as a sign of trust—and you can even pick me up once I feel comfortable. I haven’t had much experience with kids yet, but with thoughtful introductions and respectful little hands, I’m confident I’ll do wonderfully. With Dogs:  I love greeting new dog friends, though I don’t always jump straight into play. I usually get along best with dogs my size or smaller. Sometimes super energetic pups can be a little overwhelming for me, but the good news is I’m very calm and polite—I prefer to avoid conflict and will gracefully step away even if another dog is being pushy. With Cats:  I haven’t met any cats yet, so my reaction is unknown.   Energy & Activities  I have a wonderfully low energy level and I’m a total couch potato! I love to rest, relax, and snuggle indoors, making me the perfect companion for cozy afternoons and quiet moments with my favorite humans.   Training & Habits  I generally walk nicely on leash and follow my handler’s lead, though I may pull a little if something catches my attention. I love taking my time to sniff and explore during walks—it’s one of my favorite things! I walk best in quieter areas, as loud noises and lots of cars can startle me. I’m polite around food and don’t guard it from people or other dogs. I’m usually very quiet and rarely bark, though I may alert you to a stranger at first before quickly settling down. I’m still learning to relax in my kennel and may whine a little at first. I prefer to go potty outdoors, where I can really stretch my legs and enjoy some fresh air.   My Ideal Home I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment. A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors. I’m a couch potato so if you’re looking for a calm dog, then I’m your gal! A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family that is willing to guide me with patience and understanding as I come out of my shell.   SPECIAL NOTES Staff and volunteers often compliment me on how calm and composed I am. I love resting and sleeping—I’m more of an introvert who enjoys quiet time. When other dogs are playing nearby, I’m perfectly content to relax in my corner and watch. But don’t let my calm demeanor fool you! After a good rest, I get bursts of energy and love to zoom around during my walks, showing off my playful side.     For More YouTube Clips, Click Below!
