Chupacabras (Chupa for short) came to us when we found her following a street dog around the premises of a lake here in the south of Mexico City. She was dirty and malnourished, but playful - well, she's still one out of the three! A true tomboy, Chupa loves to roll around in the dirt and, on occasion, we have even found her torturing and eating crickets and other small rodents. Six weeks after finding and adopting Chupa, she has grown into a sociable, super-friendly young pup who will jump at every opportunity to play with another dog! She's extremely loyal and very loving, and with that face it would be impossible not to love her.
