My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chevy is an incredibly sweet little guy, around 4-5 years old and weighing about 10 pounds. He came to us after his previous owners fell ill and could no longer care for him. While he initially had some hair loss from flea issues, his coat has grown back beautifully, and he’s now in great health!

Chevy had never seen a vet before coming into rescue, but he’s thriving in our care. Although he was shy at first, he’s truly blossomed and now runs to me for snuggles, loving to be picked up and cuddled. He’s also house-trained and familiar with using a doggie door.

This little guy was adopted two years ago, but he’s being returned because the busy energy of a home full of teenagers is too overwhelming for him. While he doesn’t bite or act aggressively, it’s clear that a calm environment would suit him best. We believe he’d be happiest with a single person or a couple, and he could likely handle a home with one gentle child, but a bustling household just isn’t his style.

Chevy’s adoption fee is $225, and he’ll be ready to go to his new home now. If you think you could offer him the peaceful, loving home he needs, please fill out our online adoption application at http://www.chloespetrescue.org/application
