Chrono's Story:
We found Chrono wandering our neighborhood alone. Upon further inspection, we realized there was something around his neck. When I called him over, he abided immediately and enthusiastically. After bowling me over and covering my face in kisses, I noticed that he had a collar, but no ID tags. Attached to the collar was what looked to be a tether. I soon realized that the tether was actually a thick metal cable that had been chewed completely through. I also realized that the thick collar was slightly embedded in his neck, leaving discoloration of his fur. My heart sank - because I knew that he did not chew through a metal cable in a matter of hours. This was evidence that he had been outside for an extended period of time. We brought him inside and noticed cuts and scrapes all over his legs. He was flea-infested, and seem to be all-too-used to being alone. We decided to make it our mission to find this sweet, loving, and beautiful dog a loving and nurturing home.

Chrono plays well with our two (much) bigger dogs. He is VERY high energy, so he needs someone who is willing to (at least try to) keep up. He has bursts of energy, but once he is tired out, he is ready to snuggle with whoever is there. He has a lot of puppy left in him, and needs an owner who is ready to take on the tasks of further obedience training and socialization. He is a quick learner, and already knows basic commands like sit, stay, coming when you call his name, and "in" (meaning to get in the crate). His favorite game is definitely tug-o-war and he would love a big yard to run with someone in.
