My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Chewy! I am around 5 years old and a retriever/chow mix. I got my name because I had gotten my back leg stuck in a bear trap and chewed off my back leg to free myself. It was left to heal on its own. I had a family and another companion brother named Booze. Then my life turned upside down again with the sad loss of my human mom due to cancer. Don’t know why but my dad owner must have been really upset or NOT but left with a traveling carnival. A friend who realized myself and my brother were left with nothing and no one in a trailer, tried to help. Our trailer was going to be demolished in the park and the dogs fate….”Either a bullet to the head or the shelter.” I know this story sounds absolutely unbelievable, but it is unfortunately true. All is true and documented, as it happened here in the Rochester, NY area.
Hi, I am Mary Ann, Chewy’s foster mom! Chewy has been with me for a couple of weeks and is doing wonderful! He is a lover! As I was told because of the circumstances of him trying to survive being left alone in the trailer he had become food and dog aggressive. I really just see that the “Alpha” left the room and with any pack regardless of 2 or more someone will always step up to be a leader, hence the mental mode that he and his brother were in and the shelter did not make it any better. I call him a “TRUE SURVIVOR” because after all he has been through never gives up, and is very forgiving. He is not a barker, and is crate and housebroken. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered and has had cosmetic surgery on his back leg to remove scar tissue and extra skin. He has not shown any signs of food aggression nor dog aggression. As he gets along with my female Chow foster no issues. I do honestly believe he would not do well with young dog with lots of energy and wanting to play all the time. He loves to give kisses, get belly rubs and rides great in a car. He is a happy go lucky guy and definitely needs to find a loving home to rest his head and give someone unconditional love.
