Come meet the goofiest, most loving boy there is! Chapo is incredibly affectionate and loves his people hard. He's happiest going on long walks and being someone's constant companion, whether out exploring the world or watching TV on the couch. Chapo could not be easier to please - walks, treats, cuddle time, or even just keeping a hand on him is all he needs to be content. He truly just wants someone to return all the love he's been waiting patiently to give. Chapo is potty-trained, eager to learn, incredibly loyal and playful, and has tons of doggie friends at playgroup! Despite his large size, Chapo likes to pretend that he's a lap dog and is easy to manage, letting his friends bathe him and clip his nails without resistance. You'll know you're friends once he flops all over you: whether sitting on your feet, throwing a paw across your leg, or just sleeping entirely on top of you, Chapo loves to show how much he cares about his people. Check out his Instagram @adopt_chapo to see him showing off his sweet and silly side!
