✨ Meet Chiki — The Snuggly Speed Racer! ✨
Chiquita, affectionately known as Chiki, is a 6-month-old fawn pug who arrived at GMPR with her brother Chunky through our Texas rescue partnership. From the moment she entered her foster home, she made her presence known. She burst through the door, zipped around the room, and sniffed everything within reach like she had an urgent investigation to conduct. Confident and curious, she greeted the resident dogs with friendly sniffs and happily settled in without a hint of fear.
Chiki is a loving, clingy little shadow who wants nothing more than to be close to her humans. She sleeps in bed with her foster family, often curled around their pillows or snuggled right against their necks. For such a young pug, she’s remarkably tolerant—she allows her paws, ears, and mouth to be handled with ease, making grooming a breeze. She’s also a generous soul who shares toys, treats, and space with her foster brother Ollie without any guarding behaviors.
House training is going well for her age. She has already learned to go to the door when she needs outside and has only had a few accidents, many of which seemed to be the result of copying her foster brother’s habits—good and bad. She’s a smart little mimic who benefits from having another young, well-mannered dog around to follow.
Car rides are still a bit intimidating for her. She’s only been on a couple so far and finds them scary, but with more short, positive trips, she’ll gain confidence. She has also visited the vet, where she was vocal and anxious at first but ultimately handled everything just fine.
Chiki has met young children, including her foster family’s seven-year-old nephews, and did very well with them aside from normal puppy jumpiness. When left home, she stays in the main living areas and remains content as long as one of the “boys” (the resident dogs) accompanies her.
She hasn’t yet been introduced to large dogs or cats, so those remain unknowns, but what we do know is that Chiki is full of love, energy, and heart. She thrives on closeness and play and will do best in a home with another young dog who can be her buddy, role model, and partner in mischief.
If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, slightly clingy puppy who will race into your life with joy and curl up on your pillow each night, Chiki may be the perfect addition to your family.
