Calypso - Chihuahua and Pug Dog for Adoption in Santa Fe, Texas

Meet Calypso

Calypso is a 6-month-old Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) weighing about 9 pounds, and she is equal parts tiny, hilarious, and dramatic.

Found wandering near a junior high school alongside her sister, this curly-tailed little girl quickly charmed everyone she met. Since then, she's been learning what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a family. Her sister has already found her forever home, and now it's Calypso's turn.

Calypso is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, kid-friendly, and surprisingly confident with men and taller people. In fact, this sweet girl loves her people so much that she lets you know exactly how she feels when she's left behind. And by "lets you know," we mean she has opinions... and she's not afraid to share them.

Underneath her flair for the dramatict is an incredibly affectionate little dog who wants nothing more than to be near her humans. She bonds deeply, follows her favorite people from room to room, and would happily spend her days curled up beside you. Once she decides you're her person, she is completely devoted.

Calypso would thrive in a home that understands that some rescue dogs need a little extra reassurance while they learn the world is a safe place. After spending so much of her young life looking out for her sister, she's still figuring out that she doesn't have to be responsible for everyone anymore. She's still a puppy, still learning, and still discovering that the world can be a pretty wonderful place.

If you're looking for a tiny shadow with a curly tail, a huge heart, and enough personality for a dog three times her size, Calypso might just be your girl.
