Churro's Story

Churro’s Updated Bio 🤎<br/><br/><br/><br/>Churro is a 6–8 month old young dog who has already been through more than many dogs experience in a lifetime.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Churro is shy — and that’s not a flaw. It’s part of who he is.<br/><br/><br/><br/>His first adopter suffered a sudden aneurysm, and Churro was present in the home during that traumatic event. Afterward, he was surrendered to our rescue and placed with a wonderful foster who patiently helped him begin to trust again. He did well there and was adopted a second time with the hope that he would continue to blossom.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Unfortunately, that adopter expected Churro to move faster emotionally than he was able to. When he couldn’t meet those expectations, he was returned to our rescue once again and placed into a new foster home.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Despite all of this upheaval, Churro is making progress.<br/><br/><br/><br/>His current fosters report that inside the home, Churro is playful, funny, affectionate, and full of personality. He loves to play — especially with another medium to large dog, as he enjoys rough-and-tumble play that is always in good fun.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Walks have been difficult, though he is improving with time, patience, and consistency.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Churro is:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Neutered<br/>Up-to-date on vaccinations<br/>Microchipped<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>What Churro needs now is not a quick fix — he needs a person or family who truly understands rescue dogs and is willing to meet him exactly where he is.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Anyone considering adopting Churro must understand:<br/><br/><br/><br/>This will be another transition, and progress may feel like starting from zero<br/>He needs patience, structure, enrichment, and training<br/>He cannot be rushed emotionally<br/>Love alone is not enough — consistency is everything<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Because of this, his current fosters strongly prefer that any potential adopter be local to Los Angeles and willing to make several visits before adoption. Churro is currently in Studio City.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Churro is a sought-after breed and a beautiful, sweet, kind soul — but he is asking for more than most people are willing to give. In return, he offers the kind of bond that only dogs like him can form.<br/><br/><br/><br/>📩 To inquire about adopting Churro, please email:<br/><br/>info@concernedcitizensanimalrescue.org<br/><br/><br/><br/>Please reach out only if you are genuinely interested in committing to Churro and taking the journey that many rescue dogs must walk.
