My story

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

Say hello to Chief! Chief is so grateful that you might be considering him for adoption. His foster mommy thinks he is such a handsome boy with his beautiful caramel eyes. Plus, he has a fun and loving personality! Chief is estimated to be ~7 years old and is therefore past the crazy puppy stage of life - phew! Since coming into foster, he has been neutered, received his shots, and has learned that meal time is regular. This handsome boy does well in his crate, as he has been taught during foster that it's not scary and is a good spot to eat and to nap. Although he would much rather snuggle with humans on the couch or hang outside in the grass, where he can supervise your yardwork and gardening. But don't worry - he won't micromanage you. Once it's time for a break from chores, he likes to lay in the grass with his head in your lap while you sing to him. Currently he enjoys Guns N Roses and is hoping to find his own "paradise city" soon - aka his forever home. We recommend a home without little dogs, cats, hamsters, etc as he has a high prey drive, and that combo will just not work. He has a great temperament with humans, so he would be fine with a "sweet child of mine" in the home provided they are 5 years and up. Chief is hanging out another dog in the home currently, and we believe he would do well as a dog sibling to a calm or medium energy dog. However, he would likely thrive as an only dog. Chief is independent and can entertain himself with a bone or by tossing around a toy! In terms of opportunities for improvement...Chief is making progress in house training, but we are looking for his adopter to continue to work with him. His foster is working with him on leash skills, but his adopter must be willing to work on training as well - he is a strong boy! While we don't think this list is too demanding, Chief knows that he "just needs a little patience" for the right adopter to find him. If you think Chief sounds like the doggo for you, please apply for him today. Paws Across Pgh KL#16182
