Cujo is an older Chihuahua-rat terrier mix. He thinks he weighs 100 pounds, which sometimes can get him into trouble. But he is very affectionate, he likes children and other dogs and didn’t chase the cats that he met at the shelter.

Cujo is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
