Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Chewy, and I am just an all around great guy if I do say so myself. I am 2-years old and full of energy. I also am just as happy and content to sit in your lap or just be near you wherever you are. I listen very well and even know a few basic commands such as “sit, off, and leave it.” I am microchipped, neutered, housebroken, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and heartworm negative. So in other words, I am ready to start my life in my new furever home. I love to play with toys and love getting attention from my people. I also get along well with other dogs. There are currently three dogs in my foster home. I get along with all of them and am very gentle with the little one, who is only 3 lbs. I love to play with other dogs and can get just about any dog to play with me, including the older dog in my foster home that doesn’t do much “playing” with anyone of the four legged variety. There is also a kitty here, and I have learned from my foster sister that the kitty is fun to chase; however, I don’t really like to get too close because as soon as the cat’s claws come out, I will run crying in the opposite direction.
Sometimes, I get a little possessive of toys and don’t like to share with my foster brothers and sisters, but I respond well and quickly to correction when I am told to stop or leave it. I should also let you know that I can be a little shy at first when I meet new people. I tend to prefer women over men (my foster mom thinks I may have been abused before by a man), although if the man takes his time with me and lets me come to him, I will warm up to him and make friends, but it has to be on my time. I also love children!!!!! My foster mom’s nephew came to visit, and we quickly became the best of friends. We would play and cuddle together, and I loved every minute of it! My story is not really too sad. I have known a lot of love in my life from different people. I was previously adopted from Friends of Penny; however, through no fault of my own I came back to rescue because the people who adopted me just didn’t have enough time for me and didn’t feel that I was getting the love and attention that I deserved. Because I have been shuffled around from place to place, I want my next home to be my last furever home. So please, if you are interested in me, make sure you will have enough time, love, and attention to devote to me.
If you think you have room in your heart and home for me, be sure to mention my name, Chewy when you are filling out your application. Feel free to contact my foster mom at megan@rescueminpins.com with any questions you may have about me. I promise she will be more than happy to tell you all about me! Thanks for reading my story!
XOXO Chewy
