About Churro
18-week-old unknown mix breed | Female | 7kg
Churro, a gorgeous, affectionate and very clever young girl who is looking for a new home that can give her the space, structure and experienced guidance she needs to thrive.
Churro is a beautiful mix of sweet and spirited. When she’s calm, she is incredibly loving and affectionate and absolutely adores cuddling with her humans. She loves her squeaky toys, enjoys playtime and is a very clever girl who has already learned several commands, including sit, lay down and spin. She is also making progress with her toilet training.
🐾 Churro’s personality: Churro is an energetic, intelligent puppy who needs plenty of mental stimulation, physical space and continued positive training.
She can be incredibly sweet and loving with her people, but she can also become highly excitable and difficult to settle. Unfortunately, she has developed significant behavioural challenges in an apartment environment, including persistent barking/crying, destructive behaviour, mouthing and biting, and difficulty regulating her excitement.
She has also shown reactive behaviour towards other dogs, including during puppy school and when meeting dogs she knows. For this reason, her future home will need to be experienced and committed to continuing her behavioural training and management.
Churro has already had puppy school, private in-home training and veterinary support, and her new family will need to continue working closely with appropriate professionals.
🏡 Churro’s dream home: Churro is looking for a home with a large, securely fenced backyard or acreage/rural property where she has plenty of safe space to explore, play and decompress.
Her ideal family will:
🌿 Have a large, securely fenced outdoor area
🐾 Have experience with energetic or behaviourally challenging dogs
🧠 Be committed to ongoing positive-reinforcement training and behavioural support
🏡 Provide a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries
❤️ Understand that Churro will need patience, consistency and time to mature
👩⚕️ Be committed to ongoing veterinary and behavioural care
🐕 Be prepared to carefully manage her around other dogs while her behaviour is assessed and worked on
Because Churro’s adult size and breed mix are unknown, her future family will need to be comfortable with the possibility that she may grow considerably larger than she is today.
Churro’s placement will need to be carefully considered based on the individual household and their experience. Churro has a huge amount of love to give and is still such a young girl. We are hoping to find a family who can see the beautiful, affectionate puppy underneath her behavioural challenges and give her the structure, space and support she needs to grow into the best version of herself.
