My story

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

**Meet Chalk – Your Future Adventure Buddy!**

Chalk is a sweet, loving boy who’s ready to start the next chapter of his life with a family that’s up for fun and adventure! He’s got a heart full of affection and a spirit that’s always ready to explore. Whether it's hiking through the woods or cruising down the highway, Chalk is the perfect travel companion, especially since he *loves* car rides!

This energetic pup is still learning his leash manners, and while he can pull a bit when excited, he’s a quick learner and highly treat-motivated. With a little training and decompression after his time in the shelter, Chalk will be walking nicely in no time! He’s got the basics down already—he knows how to *sit* and takes treats gently from your hand. You can even use his love for toys to help with training!

Chalk is also a pro snuggler and will happily curl up with you after a long walk or play session, ready to share all the love and warmth you could ask for. He’s crate trained and comfortable when it’s time to relax in his own space.

While he’s still working on house training, he’s making great progress! With some patience, consistency, and a little more time to settle in, Chalk’s house training will vastly improve—especially once he’s fixed.

This pittopotamus has had positive interactions with cats who stand their ground. When hissed at and told “no”, he walked away and ignore them the rest of his Weekend Getaway stay. With slow intros, we think he’d excel in a home with cats!

Chalk would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of love, mental stimulation, and, of course, lots of fun adventures. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal companion, Chalk is your boy!

Are you ready to start your next adventure with Chalk? He’s waiting to meet you!
