POW! There Was a Big-Eared Chihuahua Mix, And Bingo Was His Name-O

When you first meet Bingo, KCAC’s 3-year-old Chihuahua-mix, you might wonder if he’ll grow into his ears or the ears will grow in to the dog. In some ways, they look as though they might have a mind of their own as they point straight out from his head, almost as though the statement needed to be made that this is a little guy that shouldn’t be ignored.
Bingo
Found as a stray in Aurora, running down one street and then the next, Bingo loves getting attention!
Shy at first, he warms up to people pretty quickly for the implicit reason of getting as much petting as possible. He can be playful, but sitting in his person’s lap is his favorite pastime.
He’s good with other dogs, too, just as long as they aren’t too nosy, but he definitely prefers people.
Bingo is waiting for just the right family to give him a chance to prove what a great addition he will make to their home.
KCAC Updates
Piglet
We love hearing from the various families that have adopted dogs and cats and other animals from KCAC! We recently heard from the family that adopted Piglet, the small pocket-pit that had a difficult beginning in life. All we can say is a picture is definitely worth a thousand words!
Thank you for sharing Piglet’s incredible adventures with us!
Gouda
Congratulations to Gouda, who found the perfect family willing to give her the long brushing sessions she needs.
Cuddle up, Gouda, you’re going to have a wonderful life!
