My story

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

Hi! My name is Chico. I am a 59 lb, 3 year old Harrier mix. My family could no longer care for me and relinquished me to a shelter. Unfortunately the dog-guests at that shelter were not given much time to find a new home and so I was relieved when I was transferred to MaxFund. When I got to MaxFund I was underweight and put on 8 lbs in just about as many days. I feel a lot better now!
I am easy-going, mellow and well-behaved. I am friendly to both men and women and need to be in a family of adults or with teenagers over 16 years old. Although I am OK with some dogs, I would do best being the only furry member of my family. I am very affectionate and like to snuggle up to you, so you will never be lacking for love!

I walk politely on a leash and take treats gently. I am also housetrained. I have had no formal obedience training and I know I would benefit from positive reinforcement classes. These would help us get to know each other better and help me feel secure with my new family. I definitely need affection, but I also appreciate firm, calm guidance from my humans. I am not suited to be the companion to any of the couch potatoes of this world since daily walks are a must for me. I would also love a secure yard with a 6 foot fence to play in. Hiking might be fun too!
