CHURRO BEFOREChurro came into RLRR starving and with mange. What was left of his fur was straw-like from the mange and malnutrition. He was so frightened, he cowered in the back of his kennel. He weighed 6 pounds, and you could see almost every bone in his body.

He now weighs a healthy 10 pounds and has a pretty, soft coat of fur, although, being a Chihuahua, it's not enough to keep him warm in winter. He looks like a little deer, as he has long legs.

CHURRO NOWChurro is very athletic. He loves to run around throwing toys in the air and catching them. He plays with the much larger dogs in his foster home, and he adores the two foster kittens, probably because they are the only ones smaller than him. They love to play with Churro and tolerate being ambushed and covered in his spit.

He is about a year old, housebroken, and very well-mannered. He loves food and tummy rubs. He is still a little fearful around strangers, but warms up quickly once he knows he is safe from harm.

Churro will be an incredibly loving and fun companion for life.
