My story

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

Meet Chives, the cutest 8-month-old pup who’s ready to spice up your life! Chives may start off a little shy, but once he warms up, he’s all about the fun and cuddles. This sweet boy is eager to please and just wants to be loved. A little patience and kindness are all it takes for Chives to come out of his shell — and when he does, you’ll get to see his playful and goofy side!

Once he’s comfortable, Chives is a playful little guy! He loves chasing toys, running around the yard, and soaking up all the love he can get. After he’s done showing off his silly side, he’ll happily settle down for some snuggles and relaxation. He’s the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship.

Chives is still learning about the world, but with the right guidance and love, he’ll grow into the most loyal and loving companion.

Personality: Sweet, shy, affectionate, playful

Leash Manners: Still learning the ropes, but eager to please

Favorite Activities: Cuddling, playing, spending time with people

Training: Woking on basic commands like “sit”

Volunteer Notes:

“Very sweet and easy to walk”

“Very sweet boy!!”

“Very playful and affectionate!”

*Just a heads up, the way dogs behave here at the shelter might not be exactly how they act in a home environment. Dog behavior can change once they find their forever family. These are just our observations from their time at the SPCA of SWMI.*

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a long term commitment and is therefore a serious decision which should be given ample consideration. A furry companion is a delight, but make sure that you understand the obligation of ownership as well.

Do you know how much yearly vet visits cost - and food, and toys? The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of a large dog to be $780, and a cat is $575. Of course the monetary commitment fluctuates somewhat depending on an animal's size and specific medical needs, but we can guarantee that you will be spending a significant amount on him each year. Do you have time to exercise with your pet? Some dogs have more energy than others, but most would benefit from daily walks. Even cats are better off when their owners are able to set aside daily time for play. Make sure you can give a pet the attention he craves and deserves.
