About this Dog
Chulo is a 4-year-old Dogo Argentino with a heart as big as his paws! He’s an affectionate, silly, and smart boy who loves to cuddle and be close to his humans. While he may look like a powerhouse (and he is!), Chulo is also a big goofball (like this video of him rolling in the grass) who’s clumsy in the most endearing way. He knows many obedience commands and is eager to please, but he needs a confident, experienced, and patient owner to help him continue thriving. Chulo has had a rough start in life with inconsistent ownership, and he’s looking for someone who can offer him the structure, compassion, and stability he deserves. Chulo enjoys the company of other dogs, but due to his size and strength, proper introductions and supervision are important. He can sometimes resource guard high-value treats and is working on his leash reactivity, especially when other dogs bark at him or when big trucks pass by. He takes treats gently at first and responds well to guidance and consistency. With the right person by his side, Chulo’s sweet, goofy personality truly shines. He’s loyal, cuddly, and full of love—just waiting for a forever home where he can finally feel safe and understood. If you're looking for a smart, silly, and incredibly good boy to share your life with, Chulo might be your perfect match. Chulo is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

100% of Chulo's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Chulo.
Adopt Chulo and Receive Chulo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Chulo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Chulo's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Chulo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Chulo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Chulo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Chulo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Chulo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Chulo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
