About Chato

Chato needs a foster—or even better, a foster-to-adopt home

Chato is a 1-year-old male pug mix and one of the many sweet dogs in East San Jose who've spent most of their young lives outdoors. His family is ended up letting him go , as the husband recently suffered a serious head injury and is preparing for surgery, while the wife is balancing everything alone—including caring for their 2-year-old (whom Chato absolutely adored).

We met Chato, and thanks to a kind offer for temporary housing, the family felt safe surrendering him to our rescue. Now, this little guy is ready for the next chapter: a loving foster home—or even better, a foster-to-adopt family.

Chato is friendly, affectionate, and still has that puppy sweetness. He loves playing with other dogs and his toys, but more than anything, he loves being near people—likely because he didn't get to spend much time indoors or close to humans, having lived and slept in an outdoor kennel.

He's now neutered and fully up to date on vaccines.

If you can open your heart and home to Chato, even temporarily while we search for his forever family, please reach out. Fostering truly saves lives. Please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application : www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow
