Snuggly and loving!
Why, hello there! My name is Chewy, and I’m a 1 year old Long-Haired Chi Mix, weighing in at 33 pounds.
My foster mama says that I’m just the sweetest girl! I enjoy snuggles, playing with my (foster) doggie siblings, getting hugs, and playing fetch. Most of all, though, I love my people – so much so that I will run and literally put myself into their arms.
I enjoy taking walks and do well on a leash, but I like to get constant support and encouragement when I get scared of something outside. Crates and I do not mix, so I’d prefer if you did not put me in one! I’ve also already been spayed.
One thing I’ve been working hard on is my anxiety. I have difficulty adjusting to new people and places, and I have a moderate level of separation anxiety when my humans leave me behind. However, with love, patience, and additional training, I’ve been able to build the confidence I need in order to greatly improve in these areas! I will be scared and nervous during our first meet, but please know that I do open up to be the sweetest pup! Also, I love the great outdoors and I feel very brave and ‘out of the woods’ when ‘in the woods!’ Having a playful dog friend helps me a lot, and as I LOVE them and playing with them, it keeps me active!
My ideal household would be one with a gentle, yet playful, doggie sibling to help me gain confidence. I’d also prefer to be with someone who works from home and one who could also help me work on my trust and anxiety issues. Kitties and I do just fine together having met a few now. My sweet spot that allows me to really shine and be happy with a single couple who plan to grow their family in the future. Because of my shy nature, I really like the littles- puppies and babies to be exact. They are not threatening to me and love to nurture them as they grow. If I do need to be with children, I do best around older kids (10 years and older) that will be respectful of my space, and are not too noisy. Basically I need time to warm up on my own and approach you when I am ready.
Overall, I promise to be your most loving and loyal companion! Once I’ve bonded with you, I’ll show non-stop love and affection. Do we sound like a match? My adoption fee is $500 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
