My personality

My story

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

Hi, I'm Chopper! I was originally rescued from a shelter in SC by TTDR back in January of 2021. I was at risk of euthanasia because I was heartworm positive. TTDR found me a home and and I was treated for heartworm. I am still negative today! Unfortunately after three years I was surrendered back to TTDR due to no fault of my own. The family had a change of circumstances and couldn't keep me. When I arrived back to TTDR, they were shocked to find a large tumor on my left rear leg as well. I had the tumor removed and TTDR removed and luckily it was a benign growth. I am healing up nicely. I recently spent 5 weeks in training there to learn some basic commands. I desperately need a foster or adopter. I am not a fan of other dogs or cats. I am fine with older kids and adults. I've had a really rough life with lots of bad luck. I am a sweet boy who is ready to settle in with a family who will love me to the end. I would do great in a fenced yard and with an owner who has some Husky or Shepherd experience. I love to snuggle on the couch. I am currently being boarded in Chattanooga, TN but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I can't wait to meet you!
