Pingu

Hi! My name is Pingu, and I’m a sweet little Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a small body. If you’re looking for a dog who loves people, cuddles, and a little bit of fun, I might just be your guy. I absolutely adore human attention and being a lap dog is one of my specialties! I’m a friendly boy and enjoy meeting new people. I also do great at doggy daycare, so I’m used to being around other pups and making new friends. When we’re out and about, I walk nicely on a leash and enjoy getting some exercise and fresh air with my humans. One of my favorite things in the world (besides cuddling) is toys. I’m pretty good at entertaining myself and can spend time happily playing on my own. I’m also always excited for mealtime and treats—those are definitely highlights of my day! I’m potty trained and do great when I’m on a schedule. I go outside for my bathroom breaks and don’t need a fenced yard since I’m comfortable going on leash. I’m also crate trained and relax nicely in my crate when needed. I know some basic commands like sit, come, and stay, and I’m eager to please my people. I ride well in the car too, so I’m always ready to tag along for an adventure—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood or a ride somewhere fun. Sometimes I can be a little vocal if I hear unfamiliar noises, but I just like to keep my humans informed about what’s going on around the house. My foster family says I’m a quirky, goofy guy who keeps them smiling. I’m playful, affectionate, and gentle, with just the right mix of independence and snuggly sweetness. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will cuddle with you, play with his toys, and happily join you on life’s adventures, I’d love to meet you. Love, Pingu Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
