My story

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

Chuck is basically if Einstein and Sherlock Holmes had a baby... but brindle and houndlike. So, even better! He is incredibly smart, an avid puzzler, likes earning an agility course, and loves to learn new party tricks. Being a hound mix, he's also curious, adventurous, eager to please, loves working for treats, and enjoys spending his walks smelling allll the smells. After a long day of Einsteining, Sherlock Holmsing, and playing fetch, he does enjoy some leisurely down time with a long lasting chew or any form of enrichment. The best part? This is all typically followed by a nap next to you while you finish your latest Netflix series. He's a pretty solid cuddler tool Still interested? You should be, he's a catch! Now, let's talk logistics.



Can Chuck live with kids? Chuck would do best without small children. Remember the playful part? Well, Mr. Chuck likes to play a bit on the rougher side and is bouncy in nature so may knock a kid over or play too rough for little humans.



How is Chuck with other dogs? He’s a bit more selective with what dogs he allows in his friend circle but there is potential. I could totally see a Step Brothers relationship forming if he found just the right match though! The best way to know if your dog and Chuck will be a good match is to reach out to us to schedule a dog dog meet and greet.



Can Chuck live in an apartment? The traffic of an apartment complex is bit too bustling and overwhelming for Chuck. He would do best in a house. Which leads to our next question.



Is Chuck a dog I can take to dog parks, Sunday Funday brunches, etc? No, Chuck prefers lower traffic environments. BUT, Chuck still wants you to go have fun and he'll be home waiting for you!
